Laura Weir from Drapers Record tells us that Ironic (sorry, Iconic) brand Biba’s main licencee Biba International has gone into administration. Is PSFK surprised? Here’s a snapshot of what we wrote two years ago when they relaunched:

PSFK went straight to the bbc site and did our art buying for the day but we’re betting this digital art is not worth the $18m paid for Warhols Liz in NY last week.
