EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant fashion scene of 1960s London. It showcases Biba Boutique in its second home at 19-21 Kensington Church Street, nestled in the trendy Kensington High Street area. The shop assistants steal the spotlight with their eye-catching hoop mini dress uniforms, exuding youthful energy and style. Biba was more than just a fashion store; it was an iconic symbol of the era's cultural revolution. Founded and primarily run by Barbara Hulanicki, a Polish-born visionary, with assistance from her husband Stephen Fitz-Simon, Biba became synonymous with cutting-edge fashion trends that captivated the youth. The picture captures a moment frozen in time on September 29th, 1966. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where stripes were all the rage and feathers adorned accessories for that extra touch of glamour. Doreen Spooner skillfully immortalizes this significant chapter in British fashion history through her lens. This print serves as a reminder of how Biba Boutique influenced not only clothing choices but also television shows and popular culture during its heyday. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate the legacy left behind by Biba - a true testament to creativity and innovation within the world of fashion.
