Description
During a London afternoon in the 1970s, Biba was filled with the sounds of a wooden bat hitting a leather ball, followed by playful laughter and the rustling of fabric. Rock icon Jim Morrison and rising star Debbie Harry were caught up in the lively atmosphere, sipping Long Island Iced Teas and playing cricket in the stock room. The possibilities were endless in this trippy setting.
