GILBEY Tom (Designer)

This is classic Tom Gilbey. With his trademark simplicity and an almost militaristic neatness, Gilbey was an important force in menswear in the 1960s. Here, he uses traditionally masculine details. This outfit is strong, an angular example of the new wave of British tailoring. Gilbey began designing for John Michael and in 1968 opened his own shop, in London's Sackville Street. Gilbey is one of fashion's visionaries. In 1982 he launched a waistcoat collection that suited the aspirational yuppie. Around the same time, and pre-dating the transatlantic sportswear boom by fifteen years, he said, "I'm influenced by the American campus look, it's so classic and immaculate. Jeans and T-shirt, big bumper shoes, Bermuda shorts... I hate fuss. I love things to be clean, strong and aggressive".
