Book excerpt: "Crowned Designer of the Year by British Vogue in 1970, Bill Gibb [1943-1988) was set to become a major name in fashion history. Famous for his love of romance, Gibb's flamboyant flights of fancy appeared revolutionary in the 1970s and still have a resonance today. But his career came to an abrupt end in 1988, when the fashion industry lost one of its most adventurous and exciting designers. It seems a fitting time to review Gibb's contribution to fashion." "This stunning book explores the work of a prolific and, at his best, truly visionary designer: his background and the enduring themes that inspired his designs. Gibb's fashion philosophy is revealed through the words of the designer, its effect on the fashion world seen through the eyes of those who knew him: industry professionals, family and friends. Gibb was a free spirit, an intuitive designer who broke the rules, not only in terms of design but also concepts and attitudes. Ahead of his time, he was aware of the value of celebrity endorsement and dressed rock stars, actresses and film stars from Rod Stewart to Bianca Jagger and Elizabeth Taylor." "It sets up a dialogue between the fashion industry of the 1970s and the fashion world of today. Much of Gibb's output verged on couture. 'I strove for the top and achieved it within ten years', he once said. Illustrated with his detailed drawings, intimate reportage-style snapshots, previously unseen catwalk images and fashion plates by leading photographers, this book is testimony to an individualist, faithful to his own design principles, who believed consummately in his 'rare gift ... to design beautiful clothes'."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former director of Kroll Buchler Phillips Ltd, Peter has had plenty of financial experience. Now retired from his illustrious career he has written his memoirs, Life After Debt, a hilarious collection of career anecdotes, cartoons and one-liners to illustrate his highly successful role as an Insolvency Practitioner.Peter’s profile rose dramatically when he was appointed the receiver of the late Robert Maxwell’s estate – a case which has its own part in this book and caused a huge press scandal in the early 1990s – and during his career he took over 1,000 formal insolvency appointments in most trades as well as acting as Receiver on behalf of every major UK bank. Rather than providing a dry and factual account, Peter recounts his memories of his unusual career in the City with a wry sense of humour using some of the press cuttings and photos that accompanied his rise to financial success and notoriety. The book offers a ‘behind the scenes’ perspective of the collapse of many household names as well as conjuring up blasts from the past. Witty and personal pictures provide a light-hearted insight into the starker, more severe headlines they portray.A genuinely gripping account of some of the cases and celebrities Peter has had the fortune – or misfortune – to deal with, this book will be well-received by those in the financial industry, working in the City and those in the legal profession.
