Barbara Hulanicki

An iconic figure in British fashion and firm Port Eliot Festival favourite, Barbara Hulanicki founded the now-legendary Biba boutique with her late husband in 1964. Striking a chord with an increasingly hip and free-thinking public, Biba became synonymous with swinging London in the 1960s and 1970s and was a popular hangout for artists, film stars and rock musicians, including Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull.

Also an incredibly prolific interior and exterior designer, Barbara has created designs for the likes of the Rolling Stones’ Ron Wood, Gloria and Emilio Estefan, and Chris Blackwell’s Island Outpost Group. She is credited with single-handedly reconceiving Miami Beach’s re-emerging Art Deco District in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
