About this product
Product Information
* A love letter to the most beautiful shop in the world * Designed by Steven Thomas, the designer of Big Biba itself * Written by Alwyn W. Turner, author of The Biba Experience * Featuring over 150 color photographs * Coinciding with The Biba Story exhibition at the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, from 22 March to 8 September, 2024 Big Biba was the final flowering of the near-mythical Biba retail brand. A shop like no other, all seven storeys stocked own-brand products packaged in the distinctive Biba style. Customers were immersed in a sensory smorgasbord - the complete shopping experience. A committed Bibaphile could buy a satin skirt, a leopard-print suitcase and a new bathroom, then spend the afternoon sipping cocktails among the flamingos in the roof garden, while the legendary Rainbow Room doubled as a live venue for some of the coolest acts in the world. In the wake of this decadent dreamland's 50th anniversary, and in honor of the 60th anniversary of the very first Biba shop, Welcome to Big Biba is being republished, complete with over 150 color photographs of the store and its products and designs. Written by the author of The Biba Experience and designed by Steven Thomas - the designer of Big Biba itself - these pages offer readers a genuine slice of the greatest pleasure palace in retail history. 'Welcome to Big Biba is an exceptional production... a perfectionistic coup' - Phil Baker, The Art Book.

Reviews
Have you ever changed outfits in front of a mirror that mimics ancient Egypt, surrounded by cascades of leopard print? Or bought a pot of yoghurt that 'moos' as you pick it from the shelf? How about stopping for tea on a rooftop that is home to a flock of flamingos, or else wiled away the hours trying on cosmetics, amid mirrored cabinetry? While this might sound like some form of retail fever-dream, it was a reality for those lucky enough to visit the shop Big Biba in the early 1970s.

Item was delivered as advertised however it was not delivered in a box which allowed it to receive some minor damage. Book was in 2 very durable form fitted vinyl/plastic bags which would have been great had then been placed in a box to protect it. Seller was very easy to discuss issue with and the damage is slight. I would buy again from this seller.

Not standard size, used; priced like new standard size. Seller refused to pay return shipping for not-standard item, not noted in listing. I learned not to buy a book without a listed size; could be anything.
