Vintage Cool : BIBA and Beyond

I have a holy grail of vintage items that I'd like really to own and an original BIBA mannequin head has been right up there in my top 10 for as long as I can remember.

So pleased to have bagged this beauty on ebay last week!


I will of course pass it down to my own Biba one day (but not until she can keep her room tidy).

If you are a Biba fan get yourself down to the BIBA and Beyond Exhibition at Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. This major new fashion exhibition celebrates the life and times of the charismatic, talented woman behind the brand, Barbara Hulanicki.

With loans from major collectors and private individuals the exhibition tells the amazing story of BIBA through illustrations, film, fashion, music and photography.

The exhibition runs until April 14th 2013. To book tickets and find out about the education program that is running alongside the exhibition visit www.brighton-hove-rpml.org.uk

That's my Biba's birthday outing sorted!
