The fashion world today is full of numerous brands and designers - but one stands out as a pioneer of women's high street fashion: Biba created by design icon Barbara Hulanicki. Born in Poland but raised in Britain her shops were a hangout for some of the most famous names in swinging sixties London. The rise and fall of Biba was a personal tragedy for her. But Barbara Hulanicki's legacy is intact: she made fashion affordable for the masses. Zeinab Badawi asks the designer whether she is responsible for bringing about a throwaway culture that expects cheap and fashionable clothing.
