Elspeth Gibson (born 1963 in Nottingham)[ is a British fashion designer, known for her feminine style of design. Her designs are often characterised by lace, beading and embroidery. Gibson was the British Fashion Council's New Generation Designer of the Year in 1998, and examples of her work are held in the design archive at the Victoria and Albert Museum.[ Her clients have included Madonna, Zara Phillips, Cate Blanchett, Uma Thurman and Queen Rania of Jordan, for whom she has undertaken private commissions.
Gibson left Monix to become a freelance designer in 1994, and launched her own label in 1995.[8] She pitched her designs to high-end stores, securing an early order from Liberty & Co. Gibson attracted attention from Vogue when she showed an early collection at the London Designers' Exhibition accompanying London Fashion Week. In 1997, editor Alexandra Shulman wrote: "the most commonly bought item in the Vogue offices this season is an Elspeth Gibson skirt ... they seem to strike the right balance, looking modern and different without being too extreme".
In 1998, Gibson opened a boutique in Pont Street, Knightsbridge,[ and made her debut at London Fashion Week.[6] She won the British Fashion Council's New Generation Designer of the Year Award in 1998, and Best British Designer at the Elle Style Awards in 1999.
