Omschrijving
Richly illustrated in full colour, this reissue of Welcome to Big Biba is a fitting tribute to the greatest pleasure palace in retail history.
"Unseen illustrations show the genius of Biba’s Barbara Hulanicki – in pictures…“Biba made fashion democratic – their clothes were inexpensive, of good quality and highly cherished,” says Martin Pel, curator of a new exhibition about the store founded by Barbara Hulanicki in 1963." - The Guardian
"These stories and more are all explored in “Welcome to Big Biba,” Thomas’s gold-fronted monograph of the venture republished this month by ACC Art Books to celebrate the brand’s 60th anniversary. “This book is a testament to creative freedom,” writes the now 87-year-old Hulanicki in the foreword, reflecting on her legacy. “You can do it all as long as you learn to wear a suit. Of course, your secret will be that the suit is lined in gold lamé.”" - CNN
"This reissued book is a photographic love letter to its dark, decadent glamour." - The Lady Magazine
"Have you ever changed outfits in front of a mirror that mimics ancient Egypt, surrounded by cascades of leopard print? Or bought a pot of yoghurt that ‘moos’ as you pick it from the shelf? How about stopping for tea on a rooftop that is home to a flock of flamingos, or else wiled away the hours trying on cosmetics, amid mirrored cabinetry? While this might sound like some form of retail fever-dream, it was a reality for those lucky enough to visit the shop Big Biba in the early 1970s." - World of Interiors
"Six decades on however, Biba’s legacy outlasts its footprint on the high street." - Yahoo News
"Those responsible for transforming the store into the paradise it came to be were designers Steven Thomas and Tim Whitmore." - Evening Standard
