VPOD: Vintage 1970s Biba Hi Ho Silver Gown

Mary Kincaid — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:47:00 +0000

Just because that liquid metal cyborg in Terminator 2: Judgment Day creeped me out doesn’t mean I completely shy away from metallics now–occasionally one comes along that isn’t tacky and overdone, like today’s VPOD.

Leave it to Biba to get it just right. This early 1970s dress mixes the glitzy chic of the Grammies with the regal style of early Hollywood and throws in just the right amount of sexy.

It’s a silver starlet find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Vintage-A-Peel.

VPOD: B is for Biba

Mary Kincaid — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 14:09:00 +0000

Biba was created by Barbara Hulanicki in 1964 when she opened her first shop in a former chemist’s location on Abingdon Road, Kensington. Eventually the store moved to Kensington High Street and later took over the old Derry and Tom’s department store making it the first department store to open in London since WWII.

It was described as “a strange Disneyland.” Shop helpers were told never to approach customers and the phrase “Can I help you?” was banned. Music played at the highest volume possible. Still it attracted legions of fans including Yoko Ono, Sonny and Cher, Mick and Bianca Jagger, Brigitte Bardot and Twiggy as well as local college students.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last long. LIke a rock star, Biba lived fast, died young and will always be remembered.

Today’s VPOD is an example of Biba’s simple style. It’s a coveted find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Shrimpton Couture.
