Mar 10, 2002/FWD/ --- It's not every day that you get to see Kate Moss performing a
languorous strip show on stage.
But then again it's not every day that her mate Sadie Frost puts on a fashion show in a
London theatre.
Actress Frost and designer Jemima French own the best-connected fashion label in town.
FrostFrench may not be at the cutting edge of fashion, but it's guaranteed that their
off-schedule Fashion Week presentation last night at the Duke of York's theatre will be
one of the most talked-about shows of the season.
For their third collection, an audience of the pair's friends and family ensured that the
theatre was filled with whoops and catcalls before the show even started.
Professional partygoer Fran Cutler shared a box with Liam Gallagher's ex Meg Matthews and
Brit soap star Patsy Palmer.
Opposite, blowing them kisses, was Rhys Ifans, whose long-term
girlfriend Jess Morris styled the show.

Mario Testino was busy snapping both the audience and the box across from him, which
contained an over-excited Ronnie Wood and Anita Pallenberg.
When the lights went down, a relaxed Lisa Faulkner, girlfriend of Johnny Lee Miller,
leaned against the proscenium arch and began her narration.
The short, one-act play centered around four girls -- Cool Girl, Rock Girl, Soul Girl
and Book Girl -- who all took turns to dress and undress, for a date with a bad boy, "Kid."
As the narration finished, Kate Moss uncurled herself from a shaggy white rug in the corner
of the stage, and began very slowly to zip on a pair of suede knee boots, to match her
pale pink baggy cashmere jumper and tiny, sexy mini.
She retired finally behind a screen to fling her undies away.
As she finished, the lights spotlit Rose Ferguson in a long and lean denim jumpsuit,
slashed to the waist, over a black bandeau top.
She proceeded to strip to the waist, to the evident enjoyment of the audience, before donning
a pair of cherry red, immaculately cut trousers, with matching skinny tee.
Ronnie's daughter Leah showed off her admirable shimmying technique as she removed her top
to show off a pretty tie-front bikini top, matched with a pair of cute cotton print bottoms.
The quartet was completed by Holly, Frost's younger sister, as studious Book Girl, flinging
off her black specs and managing to perform her strip in a pair of vertiginous scarlet
Louboutin heels.
The show finished up with the unexpected treat of seeing all four girls clad in pin-up,
tie-top bikinis and heels, where even Kate Moss managed to display an admirable cleavage.
Draped in diamonds from the Diamond is Forever collection, they performed a routine to
"Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend," thereby ensuring that diamante bikini bottoms will
be the hip girl's choice come the summer.
