ANN SOFIE-BACK: From the unconventional models in her shows to a fabric palette of polyester and PVC, Ann Sofie-Back's vision is certainly not about conventional aesthetics. \"I don't understand fashion, glamour or beauty,\" admits the 33-year-old Swede, a Central Saint Martins alumna, who has shown in London since last spring, after a brief stint in Paris. \"I draw inspiration from what I know, like aspiring to be something I'm not and failing to achieve being glamorous or pretty.\"...

Another British queen of the same era as [Boadicea] who made history (never as infamous as Boadicea because she was a collaborator rather than a rebel) was Cartimandua, Queen of the Brigantes. Brigantia was a tribe that held a large amount of land in the central region of Britain, near the Scottish border. Cartimandua became the Chieftess at the age of 19, and at 23 she signed an agreement with the Romans and became a `client' King (they had no term for Queen as ruler). During the next seven years, the Brigantes existed as land pirates. Cartimandua retained more control of her own kingdom than her neighbours, and her people spent their time and resources plundering the neighbouring peoples whose submission to Rome was more complete. But in 50 A.D., they signed an official treatment with Rome and the new `Procurator' demanded her people stop their raids on neighbouring tribes. By this time Cartimandua had married one of her nobles. [Zenobia] may or may not have engaged in physical battle herself, but she was an athlete, and fit enough to defend her person. Odainat, Zenobia's husband, was the acknowledged ruler according to Roman custom. Both he and Zenobia were thought to possess considerable physical and mental prowess. An attack by his nephew, Maconius, ended his life. It has been speculated that the Romans might have instigated the killings on the assumption that Zenobia, as regent for her son, would be easier to control than her seasoned warrior husband. If so, they miscalculated.
