How do you introduce someone who needs no introduction, and finding one word to describe today's guest is impossible, iconic, legendary, visionary are a few that come to mind. So I'm here in Miami, on Collins Ave at the studio of Barbara Hulanicki, founder of the iconic label Biba. I met Barbara 3 years ago upon my arrival in Miami and she’s become a great friend, my saving grace, and a go-to person for a good old fashion gossip session. Her energy and laughter are contagious and she's definitely not shy to voice her opinion, so it was really nice to sit down with Barbara for an informal chat and hear her story, the start of Biba, her love for illustration, and what she thinks of fashion today.

The Icon, Barbara Hulanicki, Episode 6

In this season finale of Hello Atelier, we sit down with legendary fashion designer Barbara Hulanicki. From 1964 to 1975, Barbara's store Biba was where those in the know in London - including the likes of Mick Jagger, David Bowie and Twiggy - went for the best clothes. Barbara didn't quit designing after Biba. In fact, an opportunity given to her by Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones reinvented her as a successful hotel interior designer. Today, Barbara's designs are still sought after, and she is endowing everything from wallpaper to t-shirts with her special Biba glamour.
