Biba

“Biba was for anyone ... it wasn’t like any other shop I had ever seen. Biba was Barbara Hulanicki, an extraordinary, wonderful woman. I feel very lucky to count her among my friends” - Dame Twiggy Lawson “In the 1990s I had a Biba dress that I lived in. I love Biba and I wear the pieces I still can from my archive. The others I have passed on to Lila; I get so much joy seeing her in them” - Kate Moss “Biba has been foundational to my career as a fashion historian and curator. Beautiful, iconic and so redolent of a specific time and place; it’s a brand that remains cherished by so many people. Biba will always hold a special place for me, it’s magical” - Amber Butchart “My glamorous older sister took me to Biba in Kensington Church Street when I was ten. I remember spotting a pair of shoes printed with Mickey Mouse all over them. The scales fell from my eyes. I hadn’t realised that fashion existed before then” - Stephen Jones “In the history of the cosmetics industry, Barbara Hulanicki’s contribution as a true pioneer and visionary can not be overstated. Biba was the first high street make-up brand to offer a fully inclusive range of complexion products ... Biba completely democratised the colour cosmetics industry” - Lisa Eldridge
