He was educated at Eton College, from which he was expelled and the University of Poitiers.
A style leader in 1960s Swinging London, his friends included The Rolling Stones, John Paul Getty, Jr., Lord Rothschild and later Bob Geldof.
In 1968, Gibbs introduced two of his friends to each other, Prince Rupert Loewenstein, then working in London as a merchant banker, and The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger. Loewenstein became the Rolling Stones' business adviser and financial manager from 1968 until 2007.
In 2000, Gibbs reluctantly sold the Manor House at Clifton Hampden, Oxfordshire, a house that had been built for his family in the 1840s. Christie's auctioned off the contents over two days.
As of 2011, Gibbs is living in Tangier, Morocco.
