BIBA: CULT<br />
FASHION<br />
IT WAS A PHENOMENON THAT HAS NEVER BEEN<br />
REPLICATED - A METEORIC RISE TO FAME AND A CRASHING<br />
DEMISE – ALL IN A MATTER OF JUST 10 YEARS.<br />
Gary Kelly<br />
‘THE BIBA STORY: 1964-1975’ at<br />
London’s Fashion and Textile Museum<br />
throws an intriguing spotlight on a cult<br />
fashion and lifestyle label that epitomised<br />
that colourful transition from Flower<br />
Power into Glam Rock. This is the only<br />
exhibition ever to look at the history<br />
of Biba, a company which brought<br />
affordable, up-to-the-minute fashion to<br />
the youth market, whilst simultaneously<br />
instigating many of the retailing<br />
innovations which are still with us today.<br />
Under its legendary founder, Barbara<br />
Hulanicki, Biba had a meteoric rise to<br />
fame - from a mail order catalogue in<br />
1963 to a seven-storey department store<br />
on Kensington High Street. Biba went<br />
on to become synonymous with Swinging<br />
London, with its store attracting clientele<br />
ranging from teenagers through to<br />
celebrities including Twiggy, Mick Jagger,<br />
Pattie Boyd, The Beatles and Cher. The<br />
exhibition will chronicle Biba from its first<br />
shop in 1964 to its demise in 1975.<br />
