1970s Couture Fashion Drawings Double Framed Sketches Original Bill Gibb Style

Original 1970s Fashion Design Sketch (Double-Sided) – Framed British Couture Study

Authentic original 1970s fashion design sketch, presented in double-sided frame, allowing both the front and reverse drawings to be viewed.

This is not a reproduction, but a genuine working design sheet—capturing the creative process of a designer refining garment.

The front features 2 primary figures with elegant, fluid linework alongside material notations. The reverse contains a skirt and top design sketches.
The front primary drawing is complemented by handwritten notes referencing luxury materials such as silk, brocade, and a “shagreen” (stingray) belt, indicating a couture-level approach to texture and finish.

The overall style is strongly reminiscent of Bill Gibb, with its romantic, bohemian influence, soft silhouettes, and decorative detailing.
