A look from Biba’s spring line
Paris fashion week is filled with runway shows, celebrity spotting, VIP-parties, store openings and more, but during those lapses in between such major events, the fashion kids can be found unwinding at cafes. (Well some of them can; After the Wunderkind show today, Mario Testino and crew were spotted having cappuccinos at L’Avenue on Rue Montaigne.) The rest of us try to see as many accessory, sportswear, and up-and-coming designer lines as possible.
This morning I stopped by to see the latest from Biba the recently relaunched ‘70s label. The house’s iconic calico print silk dresses were there in the form of long gowns (which looked a lot like those great Cavalli numbers I was going on and on about earlier), and there ruffled blouses, and bow-accented separates, that had a slight vintage feel.
Colorful accessories—which referenced a few eras from ’40s-80s—look familiar but not ubiquitous.
The apartment in which the appointment was held proved to be distracting; the private residence was furnished with mid-century masterpieces which lent an appropriately sophisticated backdrop for Biba’s spring collection.
