BIBA IS BACK BABY!

The iconic store is back! Biba was popular throughout the 60's and 70's.. AND IT'S BACK!

'My friend and I talked of the past, sighing over the good times when you could go to Biba's and buy a complete outfit for five pounds, and of the gold crochet mini-dresses still hanging in the backs of wardrobes. Should we buy a tin of Biba's own brand baked beans as a souvenir?'

An extract from 'A Farewell to Biba's'
Kate Pountey


'You were buying more than clothes in a BIBA shop - you were subscribing to an oppositional lifestyle'
'It was extraordinary to see people applied, often sucessfully, my dream image to themselves. I felt we gave them basics that they could interpret in their own way'



A sneak peak to the new collection.. 


Oh my goodness, they've got Daisy Lowe..



I have fallen in love with BIBA all over again.

What do you think? Like the retro? Or do you like the modern take on BIBA?

  1. It'll be hard to match up to the original Biba but worth bringing back. Love the original pics.
