Exclusive preview: Barbara Hulanicki's second collection

We launched Barbara Hulanicki’s first collection for George last year and now the Biba founder is back with a new collection of retro prints, chiffon tops and 70s shapes.

Amanda from our design team says: “I really like the midi length dress with lotus print and stripey sleeves. It really sums up Barbara’s signature ‘old school’ Biba prints, which are so on trend with the whole 70’s revival happening at the moment. Plus the midi dress is the key dress length for the in-between seasons from winter to spring!”

Look magazine also love the new collection. In their online blog they say: “Bang on the money, thanks to the designer’s signature retro style, you can nail the ‘70s trend with floaty blouses in dragonfly prints or make a statement with clashing stripes and florals splashed over maxi dresses and everyday tees. We’ll be living in this dress and biker boots until the weather warms up.”

The midi was modelled on Lorraine Kelly’s ITV show in a feature about 70s styles and was described as “universally flattering”. You can watch the clip again below (the dress appears at minute 4:21). The dress has been hugely popular and has now sold out online – we’re hoping to get more stock in so keep checking George.com from Tuesday February 8th.

Look out for the new Barbara Hulanicki collection which is online now and will be in store from February 14th 2011 – and leave us a comment below to tell us which is your favourite piece.
