The new exhibition at the Brighton Museum celebrates the career of Barbara Hulanicki, who changed the destiny of fashion through her Biba store during the mid-1960s

Fake fur was a popular choice for Biba coats and jackets in the late 1960s and early 1970s - most prominently used as a fake leopard skin

Hulanicki opened a label under her own name in the mid-1980s and sold her designs from shops in London: one in Regent's Street and the other in Holland Park

The print of this dress is known as the banana print. It began on Biba wallpapers sold in the Kensington High Street shop, and most recently featured on wallpaper for Habitat in 2006

Producing well-designed and affordable clothes has been a hallmark of Hulanicki's clothes. Since 2010 she has been producing a range for George at Asda, including wellies

Hulanicki produced a make-up range to complement the clothing label during the 1980s. This was sold in her shops as well as nationwide through small, independent shops and outlets

Hulanicki began using satic fabrin weaves at the end of the 1960s, and they remained popular until the end of her work for Biba in 1974

The make-up range was particularly noted for its flamboyant use of dark, rich colours. The exhibition draws from one of the largest remaining collections of her cosmetics

Hulanicki has played an important role in putting the new show together. Interviews, film footage and interactive elements all feature, with a particular focus on her architectural achievements
