Never Is the Next New Thing

Living on the Edge

Browns has some edgy designs from Boudicca and Gareth Pugh on sale.

Boudicca shirt with batwing sleeves
 Now 140 pounds, down from 460.

Gareth Pugh paneled, zip-front dress
Now 255 pounds, down from 505.

One of you avant-garde fashion bloggers definitely needs to get the Gareth Pugh jodhpur sweat pants. There are a few of you who could make these work.

Unfortunately, Boudicca’s crazy/fabulous Wode perfume isn’t on sale. When you spray on Wode, it comes out as a bright blue mist, which then fades away.

Wode “paint” perfume is available at Browns for 65 pounds

I love the Boudicca line for being named after a warrior queen and producing this jacket. But I’m a little sad that the name now feels off-limits for my Vivat Regina (Long Live the Queen) jewelry collection. I suppose that I could pick one of the many alternate spellings of Boudicca’s name if I became so inspired that I couldn’t resist her. However, I don’t think it will come to that because I have more royal ideas than I can currently turn into jewelry. Coming to my line later this year (but who knows when): Madame Royale.

  1. I woudl be all over these clothes if I were 19 and Goth again. Now, I love them but would never wear them myself.

    Love the zip front dress.

  5. Hi there-wow, these sure are statement pieces! I like the sound of the perfume, I’ll sniff that out next time I’m in London!!

  6. It’s kinda all, a little, batman-ish; but I love the drop crotch pants!! LOVE your dress from the previous post though! The colour’s so gorgeous!

  7. Oh I could give you Welsh and Irish heroic women of the same vein as the Briton leade Boudicca. They have amazing stories…
    You need a book translated into English called the Mabinogen.

  9. Hmmmmmm I can never get on board with all this avant-garde stuff. It drives me insane. But the perfume sounds interesting! I want paint-perfume!

    As for New York – I literally just decided last night that I would go. Perhaps I will hunt you down in the capital of the world?

  10. I could find a way to work those sweatpants into my classes at the gym. Boy would I be the talk of the place!

    I want that dress, too.

  11. If I was in a bio hazard kind of mood.. I would so go for it, but you know.. my ass would looks so big in those pants.

  13. 1) The dress looks a bit like a scuba suit but in the best possible way! So sleek.

    2) Thanks for the history tidbit with the link to Madame Royale!

  16. I am not one of the bloggers who can pull of the Gareth Pugh… unfortunately. *sigh*
    Maybe the Boudicca shirt?
