The hype: he first independent British fashion house to be a guest member of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture in Paris, Boudicca showed its first haute couture collection in 2007. Sexy, edgy, impeccably cut and feminine are words often used to describe this label. Each piece is made of the finest European fabric and in limited quantities.
