Biba Cosmetics

A striking, original, poster for the London fashion boutique Biba, featuring a wistful portrait of the veiled actress Ingrid Boulting photographed by Sarah Moon. This uncommon poster was designed by Steve Thomas, co-founder of the Whitmore-Thomas Partnership which was responsible for much of the store’s legendary visual branding in the 1970s. The poster won a British Design Council award for poster design, 1970-71. A higher resolution image file is available for viewing on request. From the archive of the printer, G&B Arts.
