Barbara HulanickiOBE (b. 1936) is a fashion designer, born in Warsaw, Poland, to Polish parents and best known as the founder of iconic clothes store Biba.
Her father, Witold Hulanicki, was assassinated by the Stern Gang in Jerusalem in 1948, and the family moved to Brighton, England. While studying from 1954 to 1956 at the Brighton School of Art, now the University of Brighton Faculty of Arts, Hulanicki won a London Evening Standard-newspaper competition in 1955 for beachwear. She began her career in fashion as a freelance fashion illustrator for various magazines, including Vogue, Tatler and Women's Wear Daily.
Hulanicki sold her first designs through a small mail-order business that was featured in the fashion columns of newspapers such as the London Daily Mirror.
In 1964, she opened her Biba shop in the Kensington district of London with the help of her late husband, Stephen Fitz-Simon. The shop soon became known for its stylishly decadent atmosphere and lavish decor inspired by Art Nouveau and Art Deco. It became a hangout for artists, film stars and rock musicians, including Mick Jagger and The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Marianne Faithfull and Cathy McGowan, presenter of British pop/rock TV programme Ready Steady Go!. In the shop, a young clientele bought affordable mini-skirts, floppy felt hats, feather boas, velvet trouser suits and unisex T-shirts dyed in rich, muted colors. Incidentally, Anna Wintour started in fashion as a Biba employee.

Barbara Hulanicki - Her most candid interview to date! The interview in her studio Miami 2019. #biba #barbarahulnicki
by Agata Rek.
Hi lovely people,
That conversation is very casual and spontaneous without special preps. I wanted to capture Barbara's spirit and energy in the most natural way, exactly as she is.
I must say, I am not a professional interviewer, I am a Polish-born artist, photographer, and vintage stylist, that adores Barbara and I wanted to share my love for her with you. I tried my best.
Perhaps you admire her to or you didn't know her so hopefully that video will give you inspiration.
If you like please comment, share and give us a thumbs up. Thanks to that we will have more chances to reach a bigger audience.
Thank you so much, have a great day.
