Biba S/S 07 London

^I COMPLETELY agree with you. The direction they could have taken could have been SO much better..... Biba deserves better than this.... did Barbara Hulanicki attend this show? If she did, I bet she was mortified.....

i guess Barbara herself had seen this collection already before the show.:p
 
the make up makes the models look v. ugly. ha! maybe thats the idea. it looks like she could of put more effort into it.
 
HULANICKI DISOWNS BIBA

BIBA founder Barbara Hulanicki publicly disowned the renaissance of the cult label she founded in 1964 yesterday. "I haven’t seen it, and I have nothing to do with it creatively or commercially," she said of the new Biba collection, designed by Bella Freud that is now in it's second season. "I don't intend to see it." Appearing on This Morning, she told Fern Britten and Philip Scofield that her decision to close down Biba in 1975 was not determined solely by financial necessity but by a creative inevitability. "Biba was like a rock concert," she went on. "It was emotional, every time I designed a dress it was like having a baby – I remember everyone – it wasn't an idea that could go corporate. We didn't go bust – it just wasn't right to carry on." As a fashion illustrator in the Sixties, Hulanicki said Biba was born from her "terrible frustration" at watching "couture shows in Paris full of clothes for ladies-who-lunch – all over 30 – there was nothing for us." And so she launched what was to become the era's biggest name. "I remember being struck by something a journalist said to me once, " she said. "That people came to London for two things in the Seventies – an 'A' and a 'B'. 'A' was an abortion, 'B' was Biba." (November 8 2006, AM)

I'm just wondering if she would speak the same words had the collection received a rave review...:innocent:
 
bella could have done a better job. it's like she doens't know who her targeted cutomers are. they're selling it at browns though... i say keep the aesthethic, of rock and roll, hollywood glam, voracious sex <through the hot and absolute deadly colours>loud music and fast living. designa pantsuit..a skirt suit. a draped goddess gown. jheep those aesthethics and you'll make it Biba. It's been such a long time, Bella could could totaly re-model the image of Biba.it's like a blank canvas with history. like what tom did for gucci.

we want clothes!!! not a t-shirt and skirt combination that Topshop can do better. we want fashion. and it's got to be worthy of the name Biba.
