Let's dive in...!

Today, we’re launching from the very beginning… so for all of those who are yet to know about Biba, welcome! For those that are already Biba fans, hey there! And for the lucky ones out there who own a piece of Biba clothing, what an absolute dream!! -
Hello and welcome to our latest collection, a work in progress for the past 2 years and one of THE hardest secrets to keep! -
Just one of our main inspirations, that's all!
You may be familiar with the store Biba from London 1960's & 70's... if not, it was a wonderland, empire of gorgeous clothing and helped break in SO many styles that we still wear today... mini skirts, high knee boots, bohemian, flowing garments and amazing colours & textures!
Behind the scenes was the main founder and designer, Barbara Hulanicki. In our books she's the Mick Jagger of the fashion world!
In the next few weeks will be posting snippets and stories from Barbara all about that time period, dressing everyone from Twiggy to Sonny and Cher as well as the amazing way she designed and produced her garments.
For now, enjoy our collaboration collection with here and you can find a past blog post on her here!!

Check out the launch at London Fashion Week, in the beautiful Somerset House with London city glowing behind the large-frame windows.
This Ophir textile design has been hand drawn by Barbara Hulanicki for Flare Street. Made in Melbourne, in limited editions! -
Biba Boutique is next on our 'Babe's Who Inspire Us' blog! At the helm of this bohemian wonderland was Barbara Hulanicki - I'm not sure who inspires us more, the babe behind it all or the power her boutique had over the late 60's fashion scene in London... perhaps both!
Biba Boutique was a unique mix of Art Nouveau decor and Rock and Roll decadence based on Kensington High Street in London. This was the late 60's when Beatle-babes and models such as Brigitte Bardot, Twiggy and Pattie Boyd were covered in Biba goodies from head to toe.
Here our some of our favourite images of the Biba store and beautiful pieces purchased from there. What we'd do to own one of these!
