He graduated from The London College of Fashion and worked with the likes of Vivienne Westwood…as well clientele ranging from Madonna, Kylie, Fergie and Lindsay Lohan.
After 10 years in this field - and a very close relationship with the world of visual arts, Gil gathered his own personal work and produced his first series of limited edition art prints, inspired by iconic fashion objects and iconic people.
