Jean Shrimpton and Barbara Miller

"The new Biba store in Kensington High Street proves that the boutique has arrived in in the world of big department stores.  Biba is the brainchild of Barbara Hulanicki, who started her design career eight years ago with a small boutique.  In 1969 Biba re-emerged in more opulent surroundings in Kensington High Street, and now it moves into even larger premises.  But it will endeavor to retain Barbara Hulanicki's taste in clothes, furnishings, make-up and foodstuffs."
