		Boudicca's breakthrough collection took place three years ago in an old run-down building far in London's outskirts.
		Cold and cerebral, it's a space full of Boudicca trademarks: tailoring so sharp it could kill, leather jackets, breath-restricting dresses, men's shirting, stiff military collars, hoods resembling veils, bondage-like straps around the exterior of coats, and layers of intricate and idiosyncratic geometry.
