Brian Kirby & Zowie Broach

the designers

Boudicca is the design duo of Zowie Broach and Brian Kirby, who named their company after the ancient Queen of Iceni in Britain who fought the Romans and died in 61 AD.

They met while both were studying at the Middlesex Polytechnic College in the U.K. When they graduated in 1997, they started Boudicca.

They show every season at London Fashion Week. For Spring/Summer 2003 they produced one of the most beautiful and accessible collections to date. The garments were all black except for one flash of pink in a bold wrap-around dress. There were generous scatterings of twinkling Swarovski crystals.
