Designer Barbara Hulanicki of Biba fame launched her capsule collection for Topshop today, the best of which is already sold out online. The shoulder pad dress was by far the fastest seller, which is not surprising considering that the silhouette is modern and hard to find at such an affordable price point. That said, there are still plenty of great pieces to be had. Check out the video look book and shop for the collection in one place, right here.

Barbara Hulanicki Of Biba Fame To Launch Topshop Collab Next Week

If you haven't already caught wind, Biba founder Barbara Hulanicki is poised to launch a capsule collection with Topshop next week. The range will debut in the New York and London stores as well as online this April 28th. Our Network Partner, Style Bubble, wrote on her visit to the showroom to see the collection as did our sister site, Fabsugar UK. The strong shoulders, wild leopard-like prints and whimsical dresses are perfectly curated in this collection. The most expensive piece, the suede jacket shown at left, will retail for around $200. If suede is what you're after, Topshop has been doing a lot of that this season, most notably by way of suede leggings which go for around $510. Regardless, we're sure all of the Barbara Hulanicki pieces will fly off the shelves.
