School of Rock

How to be a Professional Handbag on opening night? Borrow most-wanted Roland Mouret dress before anyone else. Speak when required but know when to be mute. Pose for photographs when ordered but appear nonchalant when asked to move aside from more famous partner.

It’s hard being married to a superstar.

So what do you do if you are on the road with your husband, who just so happens to be Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke? Well, you could follow Daniella Clarke and start your own scandalously low-rise jeans label. Named after her daughter, Frankie B., these jeans single-handedly made the butt crack cool. And they’re finally coming to London.

Frankie B.’s are fringed in suede or embroidered with butterflies and guitars in areas where you might benefit from a bit of distraction. Want the rock ’n’ roll lifestyle? You could quit your job, learn the drums and forget to wash for a while — but it’s probably easier to get a pair of these.

Less call for chauffeurs/stylists/security guards.

And so much easier on the self-esteem.
