Look what arrived in the post today. This was my post-Christmas present to myself (always a good way of banishing the winter blues).
Welcome to Big Biba-inside the most beautiful store in the world.
How I wish I could have visited Biba. (Of course I am much too young!) My sister used to save up for clothes and she has a wonderful original Biba make- up box. The graphics are amazing and the range of goods Biba sold was incredible.
And I love all those dark moody interiors.
Oh well. I'll just have to wait for someone to invent a time machine.
I only know of Biba by name, and hadn't heard about this book. It sounds very interesting!

Well that is a blast from the past, will it be Mary Quant next?

We had a Biba in Harrogate when I was a teenager. I used to go in with some of the girls from college although I never bought anything myself. It was so dark in there, how anyone knew what they was buying is beyond me.

I adore anything biba. I have a few biba books but not this one. I think it might have to go on my wish list!
