‘This jacket is from the 70s, but looks completely up to date’ Barbara Hulanicki, the founder of Biba , on her jacket. I made this jacket for Twiggy in the early 70s, which is why it’s so tiny. It was an early sample . I just said: “ Do you want to wear it?” We did lots of her clothes – we were one of the few labels that did such small sizes. I’ve always been inspired by leopard print. When we had the big store in Kensington, we had it everywhere. It never dies, but it can look a bit tacky if it hasn’t been done nicely. If you get the print and the colourway right – if the base colours are correct and the spots aren’t too large – it’s fabulous. 📷@mbkoeth for @guardian
