…………….an exploration and documentary of ourselves and the world we live in.
The collections from B O U D I CC A are stories, short scenes from films, that at times are simple and reference the obvious, at others become complex and ill fitting. The modern paranoia of human life, the beauty and the vanity of modern life, the anger of another, the fake lies that we are told and the real truths we forget...
It’s an unspoken language, that garments have; more function than just covering the body. There is an intimate relationship formed between the wearer and the garment that Boudicca demand to be examined.
Boudicca’s design reflects this demand, this journey, this social documentation, taking into account an emotional response to the system that is life. Boudicca strive to see a future of people wearing clothes that express a person’s feelings and emotions to the world they exist in. Not clothes as escapism, but of expression. A constant evolution between light and dark, hot and cold, hard and soft, right and wrong, day and night, male and female, rich and poor, fast and slow, now and never, forever and ever.

Queen Boudicca (AKA Boadicea) Led the revolt by the ancient Britons against the Roman invaders 60 AD The Britons had become slaves to the Roman Empire and their humiliation continued with the public flogging of Queen Boudicca and the rape of her two daughters. Boudicca raised an army and sacked Colchester, then marched her army on London - Her army marched down Bishopsgate and burnt London to the ground. - And to this day archaeologists still refer to a red layer under London as the Boudicca Layer. After the Roman reinforcements arrived there was a huge battle in which the Britons were defeated. Instead of surrendering to the Romans Boudicca fled and killed herself by drinking Hemlock. - There are many myths about the final resting place of Boudicca - One of them being under Platform 13
at St Pancreas. From this Myth we took the name Platform 13 for our company
name and website.
