Topic: Biba


  
  Biba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biba's early years were rather humble with many of the outfits being cheap and available to the public by mail order.
Biba smocks were uncomfortable and ‘itched’ and stopped women’s arms from bending - something that did not stop customers from buying the clothes, which had become the uniform of the era - with the added bonus of that whatever you bought, you could always get accessories to match.
Biba never wanted to be considered an average high street store and as a result the interior layout was always innovative and was set to enhance the clothes rather than just to hold them.

 Sixties Central> Fashion Designers> Biba
In 1969 Biba was now opened on a grand scale in Kensington High Street, and was concentrating on the 30s look with lots of satin, ostrich feathers and long dresses.
In the late 60's and early 70's Biba was best known for moody, nostalgic clothes and accessories in shades of brown, plum, grey, and pink.
Biba closed its doors indefinitely in the mid-1970s.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | The world according to Biba
Biba wasn't just about fashion, it was a political statement; it turned shopping into a fun hobby, not just a pursuit for the idle rich, and lowered the age of fashion consent from 30 to 15.
The Biba Experience by Alwyn W Turner is full of modern girls in vintage Biba outfits, "an antique collectors' club" edition of which Hulanicki doesn't entirely approve since she wasn't involved and not all the designs are her own.
Biba's last incarnation at Derry and Tom's was its crowning glory, an art-deco masterpiece, but it was also the beginning of its demise.

 Biba model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Biba Model is a formal state transition system of computer security policy that describes a set of access control rules designed to ensure that data are not contaminated.
This security model is directed toward data integrity (rather than security) and is characterized by the phrase: "no write up, no read down".
With Biba, users can only create content at or below their own security level (a monk may write a prayer book that can be read by commoners, but a high priest would not be allowed to view the work of the (presumably) less pious monk).

 The BiBa One-Time Signature and Broadcast Authentication Protocol
In comparison to other one-way function based signature schemes, BiBa has smaller signatures and is at least twice as fast to verify (which probably makes it one of the fastest signature scheme to date for verification).
On the downside, the BiBa public key is large, and the signature generation overhead is higher than previous schemes based on one-way functions without trapdoors (although it can be trivially parallelized).
We present the BiBa broadcast authentication protocol, a new construction based on the BiBa signature, that achieves all our desired properties, with the tradeoff that it requires a moderate computation overhead for the sender to generate the authentication information, and that it requires loose time synchronization between the sender and receivers.

BIBA - Biba was founded by Barbara Hulanicki (1936-) in 1963 as a mail-order boutique, which then grew to a tiny shop in Abingdon Road in 1964.
Biba clothes were innovative and youthful, very retro and nostalgic in a 1930s Hollywood way, and sometimes used 1930s and 40s deadstock prints for economy.
There is a current Biba company which was launched in 1996 that appears to use the same Celtic logo, but is nowhere near as desirable or collectable.

Biba was a phenomenon-a fresh way of viewing the world that was equal parts nostalgic and futuristic.
For its time, Biba was revolutionary in defining and satisfying a youthquake market that was frustrated with the childish frills and frippery that had been imposed upon them by conservative parents.
Instead, Biba provided them with a darker-edged and openly sexual image, and one that was sometimes even dangerous in its Gothic undertones.

 BIBA reveals desire for crackdown on uninsured drivers
The British Insurance Brokers' Association (BIBA) has revealed that the insurance industry is keen for stronger penalties to be levied on those who drive without insurance.
More than half (51 per cent) said they believed that offenders should have their car seized, and over a quarter (28 per cent) went so far as to state that uninsured drivers should be sent to prison.
BIBA is consequently increasing its pressure on the government to strengthen penalties levied for drivers taking to the roads without insurance.
