BIBA was an aspiration when I was in my late teens, but I never owned anything. In my mid teens my Woolies Saturday girl wages had to be saved up to buy a fashion copy from C and A🙂

But this weekend I am in Edinburgh, so I may just check it out, thank you for sharing.

Well I've never heard of Biba either! Maybe I'm too old. Great to hear of your work following you, even into forbidden places . . . er wasn't that what your work was about?

Ha ha! Yes of course! Seems it still is 🤣

Ah! The wonderful BIBA! Yes, I had a BIBA coat in the 60s. Loved it!

What lovely serendipity, Jane! 💕 Biba is very cool. Being Canadian and born in the 70s, I admit not knowing her/the brand. 🫠

I think you are forgiven for that!

How lovely to be recognised for the work you're doing on end of life planning. Sometimes, when I tell people (my age) that I live my life with death in mind, they tell me not to lower the mood! I remember Biba, but never owned anything from the label. We had a shop in our town called Chelsea Girl and that was our East Midlands version of Biba 😉
