Following the phenomenal success of the Vogue Coloring Book, award-winning writer and fashion editor Iain R. Webb has created beautiful hand-drawn artworks inspired by iconic images from British Vogue in the Swinging Sixties. Original captions taken from vintage Vogus from the 1960s add an entertaining period flavor.

From Twiggy and Mary Quant to The Beatles and Peter Blake, the '60s were the years fashion, music and art collided in a colorful, effervescent youthquake. As one Vogue cover line from 1960 read: 'Young Ideas, Young looks, Young!' The defining mood of the decade was an effortless cool attitude - breezy, carefree and always looking for the next party.


Now is your chance to join the party. This is the decade of the mini-skirt, Op Art prints, the discotheque dress and wild colour combinations. Go crazy with your crayons. Become your ow n fashion designer and make your designs Pop!

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".
