Biba Catalogue (Complete set) + Biba Newspaper

London. Biba. Various, Late 60's. First Edition. 6 x Narrow Folio, 16pp. 36x18cm. Printed wraps. Tabloid, 16pp, newsprint. Text in English. Sepia plates. A little creased with minor wear to edges. Softcover.. Book: VG+. .

It doesn't get much better than this- a complete set of 6 Biba mail order catalogues from the late 60s plus the Biba Newspaper which was handed out at the opening of 'Big Biba' in 1973. Catalogues comprise 2 by Hans Feurer, 1 by Sarah Moon, 1 by Harri Peccinotti, 1 by Helmut Newton and 1 by Donald Silverstein. All very very beautiful. A contender for the greatest printed artefact of sixties fashion. Nothing short of incredible, and impossibly scarce to see as a complete set. Amazing.
