BIBA
wiki
Background: Barbara Hulanski opened her first shop in 1964, overflowing with svelte girls and dresses upon dresses upon dresses upon dresses. Made an instant hit with her prior mail-order catalogue, Biba was affordable, beautiful and abundant - sounds like the original Forever21, except that the dresses actually stood up to wear, tear, and time.

years ago, i bought a marc jacobs blouse with an aaaamazing art deco/art nouveau print. of course, i immediately fell in love with it and am still getting lots of summer wear out of it. i started getting into vintage biba recently and realized that MJ pulled the print from a line Biba put out years ago. Fashion worlds colliding!
(the marc jacobs shirt from college!)
i want more!
