One of fashion’s most underrated labels, Boudicca, have my respect for a ton of reasons, but mostly, of course, because their clothes are and always have been stunning. The duo, who are also partners in love, have always persisted diligently toward their dream while remaining independent and staying true to themselves. Everyone wants to be able to succeed with their dream in life, but how Zowie and Brian have found their path – despite shunning many corporate sponsorship opportunities – is truly something to admire. While they’ve had more conceptual and extravagant collections than their Fall 2002 showing, I really wanted to post this one as it’s a personal favorite… possibly for the very reasons I just stated. I love their ability to bring dark and enchanting fantasies to life within their pieces and to give a very theatrical feel – but I also adore this collection for it’s harnessed fury, so to speak.
All of their signature elements are there but it’s the modesty that really adds the extra allure for me. Their cuts are always severe and clean and in this collection, we’re really allowed to focus on that. Not to say there is a lack of detailing, but rather the amount of detail is perfect. The geometric detailing works so well with their sharp designs; I love the peel away effect on some of the pieces in particular and particularly how the panel underneath is completely contrasting. The asymmetry is also fantastic as it’s done so well. And finally I have to mention the black on black work is lovely also; the contrasting textures add a lot of depth and volume to the silhouettes.
