Oh to transport back in time.

Biba..... Over priced crap.

Dosent she sound like the Late Princess Diana?

I’m American so I never heard of Biba until Mrs. Slocum mentioned it on Are You Being Served. But the statements the owners make here are exactly what the salesman people at “Grace Brothers” were complaining about. How a haughty salesperson can put customers off. I also dislike shops where they follow you around, and you tell them you are just looking. Then if you show the slightest interest in something they come right back and annoy you again. When this happens I usually stop going there.

love you girl. yes bring back rummaging !

Love her and this vid. but music too loud

Ha! " if someone said can I help you? they were sacked that second" how I miss being able to browse 😢. Try going into even a Holland And Barrett without a ferocious looking women wondering why you're there. It puts you on edge. I hate it

BIBA on KenHigh Street was one of the best experiences of my life. The floors of fabulous upon fabulous fashion, even home accessories...The rooftop lounge and the grocery in the lowest floor. Everything was heaven.

What a genius couple Barbara and Fitz really were. So ahead of their time with a true unique talent.

Amazing how modern that store looks.

I merely wanted to tell you how amazing I think you are….. I saw a friends Facebook post “The ride & fall of Biba” & I thought omg I remember when I was a very young child tagging along with my very young & funky mum to the church st & then later on the Big Biba stores….. what an amazing thing you did & I’m so very sorry to learn for how it all ended. Although you must’ve been devastated I hope you feel proud because you were such an innovator. I’m so glad I clicked my friends post today. Thank you for all you’ve done you’re really are a designing rockstar ⭐️

Who could’ve imagined, a simple conversation where a woman told her husband she was unable to find a dress she liked & him saying well then darling make your own, that BIBA & all that followed was born. Sad that it only took a decade for the men in suits to fcuk it all up for them…. Very sad indeed (watch the rise & fall of BIba. Very informative)

Qué años tan adorables ❤

@5:09 Everyone is acting for the camera and they are laughing at the situation. Plus, smoking cigs amidst feathers, fabrics, indoors. Awful. Just today I saw a meme saying "young people today don't believe when they are told that everything used to smell like cigarretes". True. T'was gross.

Imagine smoking around all of those clothes. Buying clothes that reeked of cigarettes? 😮

This video does not do the Biba colours justice. Nostalgia

and now both brands are utterly unrecognisable :(

I remember being dragged into Biba between the age of 11 and 13, by my sister, who was 5 years older. I remember it being far more colourful than these films reveal. It was full of crystal chandeliers, feather boas, bright green and pink ottomans and sofas, palm trees and pop clothing.

That was fun!

The customers and sales girls were ripping the place off so bad they had to shut the Derry and Tom's store after 2 years. So not cool. The dark interior with the bright spotlights was ahead of its time.

This was the first fashion style I was influenced by as a 13 year old kid. I loved the purple lipstick. It had a resurgence over the years.

Going to the exhibition of Biba in march 2024. Absolutely csnnot wait to see all the fabulous items in show ❤

loved Biba fashions and makeup!

Barbara and Big Biba were ahead of their time. Her clothing and designs, however, are timeless.

Oh memories. It looks like this was filmed in the London store Biba if I'm not mistaken. I loved that place. So atmospheric and fancy and trendy. Miss it. Great song too.✌

Take me back please.

Amazing

The birth of fast fashion!!!!

People had so much hair back then. What were they eating? 😂 I’m always so amazed at how thick and shiny it was. I haven’t had hair like that since I was ten.

Looks like a dream job

They had such good intentions for their business, it wasn't just all about money, such a sham it went under.

I was lucky enough to work in Biba hair salon as an apprentice hairdresser we had fab dresses to wear in cream and black i wish id kept them sadly the store didnt last long after the opening of the hair salon

I wish something like Biba was still around!

I feel so grateful that my royal deposed beautiful beautiful mummy took me to Biba in the 1970s.One sad day i remember Rolling Stone Mick Jagger who had wanted to date my mummy+drove to Wales to rob us then continued to do so even as far as our homes.I also remember Mick stealing mummys purse of 200 pounds she had saved to drive up and shop at Biba.Jagger was a mod,he wasnt a rocker like Keith Richards.Jagger often followed my mummy and sat in a chair wearing mod attire complaining about loudly aboutthe Biba glam+i think he led to its downfall somehow.

Barbara is an absolute icon. ❤️

A woman I was friendly with in the 70's gave me items from Biba in Hi St Ken, which my father threw way at some time. Biba was closed long since. A few years ago I discovered House of Fraser sold real Biba stuff from days of Barbara Hulanicki and I bought bedclothes and a lantern with Biba designs on both. I am getting old.

Back then department store is very dim lights. a litte bit dark to sell a clothes, maybe its the trend.

Love it, but probably not for me. Not a waif :)

If only more shops where like this now. What a shame : (

Loved the stores both big and little Biba, still have a dress I bought there, fabulous store

In the 60s I worked for Read Hosiery at 87,Regent Street.London.W.1. and used to take a carton of hosiery to BIBA in W.8. by taxi quite often,I always looked forward to going there, it was a great place with good people.

Her rings 😍

what an icon she is!

What a great lady and creative person you are Barbara. Love from Warsaw! I am so inspired by you.

Sleeping beauty and a child.

Does anyone know if she still has the smaller shop in Knightsbridge

Me and my girlfriend of the time, shopped there constantly, it was a fantastic experience.

The ladies look so chic and lovely in this video, so put together with their elegant clothes and attractive hairstyles. I adore this era of fashion. Ms Hulanicki is so talented.

Wow 😻🙀😻 That hat at 0:17 looks like something I could find online as part of a current designer's 🍁autumn🍁 or ❄winter❄ collections!!! The entire Biba brand was so ahead of it's time, in terms of both clothing designs and makeup trends...Barbara Hulanicki is a true visionary!!! 👀🤔👍💄💖👜👚👗👖👛👟👠👢🕶💋

I wish Lush has this attitude to customer service. I love Lush but they're too pushy
