An interview from a while back... (guardian.co.uk

What I see in the mirror

I used to look in the mirror a lot when I was a kid, and cry. I thought I was pretty back then, with salty green eyes and a pouty mouth. Now I tend not to look in the mirror too often - it reminds me of too much.

I suppose what I see first is my dark bob of hair that frames my small and delicate face. None of my features is abnormal. Arched eyebrows, blue-green eyes and a cupid mouth. All quite doll-like. I like abnormality and flaws though. I like the scar under my right eye that I got when I fell on a can of baked beans when I was two. I like my slightly gappy teeth, too.

Sometimes I feel dull and as if I look a bit boring; not glamorous and ladylike enough. I suppose I'm a tomboy, really. "A boy's body with t*ts," someone once called me.

I enjoy dance classes and trapeze in front of a mirror. My goal is to perfect my bottom, so it's as close to a peach as it can be. I'm told I have a "grand smile", and I know I can flash a tempered glance with my eyes when I'm angry.

My skin is sallow and I have quite dark rings around my eyes, which I hope make me look mysterious and eastern European. My veins are quite dominant, reminding me that I am very much alive. They seem to congregate around my breast area, and in my pregnancy days were a magnificent blue and green.

All in all, I am happy with what I see. I'm preserving well. A body that's mothered four children. I'm kind of lucky. These days when I look in the mirror, I don't cry, I smile.

Sadie's FrostFrench label set to shut down (dailymail.co.uk

Sadie's frosty outlook

Relaxing at a Goan *Jivamukti yoga retreat this week after telling friends of her desire for ‘new *beginnings’, you could be forgiven for thinking that Sadie Frost doesn’t have a care in the world.

‘Namaste,’ she wrote on her Twitter account, using a traditional yogic greeting. ‘May not be around so much — Ommm.’

But while a New Year holiday for the *45-year-old actress and ex-wife of actor Jude Law may not seem out of the ordinary, its timing has *certainly raised several eyebrows.

Back in rain-sodden London, a grim ‘shop to let’ sign has been fixed to the wall of her FrostFrench clothing boutique in London’s Soho. Bright pink lettering in the window advertises a ‘warehouse sale from £10’. The bargain basement sale comes just two weeks after it emerged that FrostFrench’s first flagship Islington store, launched in 2007 with a party attended by Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne, has closed down permanently.

And according to the managing agents of 22 Noel Street in Soho, the last remaining FrostFrench store, run by Frost and her partner Jemima French, 45, is also due to close ‘imminently’.

The change of strategy looks much needed. The company’s latest accounts filed in February last year indicate that the fashion label has *accumulated more than £500,000 in losses. Harvey Nichols, once the brand’s most powerful *stablemate, will not be stocking a FrostFrench spring/summer collection for 2011.

Not surprisingly, there are now fears for the *fashion label, which went into administration in 2008 with debts of £4.2million before immediately reforming as a new company.

The 2008 collapse of Frost’s fashion venture and recent difficulties are just some of many setbacks she has suffered of late. Last year, Frost *dissolved another of her companies, Left Hand Productions Ltd. A third company, Love Potion Number 9, which she set up with her half-sister Jade Davidson, who is Kate Moss’s former nanny, was also dissolved last month.

In truth, since her divorce from Jude Law in 2003, Frost struggled to emerge from the shadow cast by his successful Hollywood career and his *relationship with actress Sienna Miller. But with her business ventures in dire straits, her troubles are reaching a crescendo.

According to one former women’s magazine *editor: ‘The thing about the recession is that it finds people out. FrostFrench always got publicity because of Sadie’s name and her celebrity friends, but it’s not enough.’

Right from the start, the FrostFrench label was forged off the back of Frost’s extensive circle of famous pals. Their first company was set up in 1999 after the women, who met as teenagers, stumped up £10,000 of their own money.

They began selling mail-order lingerie, vanilla-scented knickers, which French dyed in vats in her North London garden, before they swiftly moved into clothing design. But the duo soon became more famous for their after-show parties than for their creations.

In 2001, Frost’s friend, supermodel Kate Moss, performed a sexy striptease at the FrostFrench show. A couple of years later, at a circus-themed event, Helena Christensen dressed up as a *ringmaster with Jerry Hall as a magician and *Liberty Ross on the trapeze. In 2004, Jude Law turned up with new love, actress Sienna Miller, in tow, along with Frost’s first ex-husband, Gary Kemp.

According to the former magazine editor who spoke to the Mail this week: ‘They always had impressive shows and parties. Magazine editors used to fawn over them because they wanted to rub shoulders with their famous friends, but none of that replaces having a design background and making great clothes.’

And that, say the brand’s critics, has been one of FrostFrench’s main problems. One fashion writer says: ‘The clothes are very girly and most women don’t want to dress like that. No one cares about FrostFrench any more. They are flogging a dead horse.’

There are other signs, too, that there have been *turbulent times for the brand. Key investor, film producer John Joakim, who helped relaunch the business when FrostFrench Ltd collapsed in 2008, resigned as a director last year.

Dominic McVey, a 25-year-old entrepreneur who became Britain’s youngest millionaire at the age of 15, has also resigned his directorship, leaving Frost and French the only two remaining company *directors.

Frost herself has lent the company £75,000 of her own money, while records show that French, who recently quit London and moved to the country, has apparently borrowed more than £250,000 from the company.

When the last FrostFrench company failed, the pair blamed their management team and the *‘strategic direction’ taken by the business. Now that they are the company’s sole directors, they have no one left to blame but themselves for any decisions taken.

And while both women play up their image as ‘life-long friends’ —their website is covered in photographs of them draped over each other — in the past there have been suggestions that the two enjoy a rather more turbulent friendship than they would like to admit.

Sharon O’Connor, former *managing director of FrostFrench Limited — the company which was wound up in 2008 — said that while she battled to turn the doomed business around, she faced the *constant bickering of Frost and French over everything from how much each was getting paid to the type of fabric chosen for a T-shirt.

In an interview two years ago, retail expert O’Connor, who is also a former managing director of Oasis, likened life at FrostFrench to an episode of the Jennifer Saunders sitcom Absolutely Fabulous. She told how Sadie had ‘a very short attention span’. Of *Jemima, she said: ‘Her behaviour was very erratic. She would throw tantrums and shout and swear.’

During one memorable clash at top Japanese restaurant Nobu in *Mayfair, O’Connor recalled how French launched *herself at Frost with her designer handbag. ‘I can’t see it working with those two in charge,’ O’Connor added at the time. ‘Even with a never-ending pot of cash, I doubt they will ever learn from their mistakes.’

A source close to both women insisted this week there is no *problem with the company and that there had been no falling out with the company’s former investors. ‘There will continue to be a FrostFrench range.
They’ve been doing this for ten years, so I don’t think they have to introduce themselves.’

He added that the design duo will concentrate their energies on the ‘Floozie’ lingerie range they produce for Debenhams. A spokeswoman for Debenhams confirmed that the Floozie line is their best-selling *lingerie range and that there were plans to expand it and introduce some other designs.

At the end of last year, Jemima French claimed: ‘We plan to relaunch our website early next year with our next *collection and will be concentrating on this, along with many other exciting projects.’

But the future of the FrostFrench clothing line seems unclear. The source close to Frost and French said the women would create *collections on an ad hoc basis rather than be tied by the traditional two *collections per year adhered to by most *fashion houses.

That's too bad for her.. I think it's a good point about the clothes being too girly though.

 

[alicia753]

That's sad news...
