BOOK: Welcome to Big Biba

In 1973, Barbara Hulanicki transformed the historic Derry & Toms building into a seven-story Art Deco wonderland, creating a landmark of 20th-century British design.

This publication serves as a visual diary of that extraordinary moment, capturing the opulent, velvet-clad interiors and the total-concept branding that made Big Biba a sanctuary for the avant-garde. From the iconic Rainbow Restaurant to the intricate Roof Gardens, the book explores how Hulanicki redefined the relationship between fashion, space, and experience.

It is an essential record of a short-lived but era-defining experiment that continues to influence contemporary craft and retail design.
