well everyone is wondering where will they show. I guess this is the answer. Sounds like a good idea, I wish more designers (myself included) would explore this possibility

Fashion Scoops: Boudicca Moves On ... Window Watchers
BOUDICCA MOVES ON: Zowie Broach and Brian Kirkby, the design duo behind Boudicca, are swapping the runways of New York Fashion Week for the catwalks of Paris couture. A spokeswoman for the duo, who moved their show from London to New York in fall 2004, said the spring 2007 collection would be produced and sold as usual. They plan to stage their first Paris show in January 2007 as part of the off-schedule calendar. “Boudicca really isn’t about trends; it’s more about design and craftsmanship. The fit with New York just wasn’t right anymore,” said the spokeswoman. “Zowie and Brian plan to enter Paris quietly on the off-schedule, but they’re committed to showing there for the long haul.” Boudicca, famous for its mix of razor-sharp tailoring, sculptural designs, and ongoing experimentation with fabrics and fragrance, certainly isn’t the first rtw brand to crash the Paris couture party. In the past, rtw design houses such as Yohji Yamamoto and Azzedine Alaïa have shown off-calendar at the Paris Couture, and Lanvin and Azzaro continue to show during that week.
