WHEN David Cameron ended his stint as Prime Minister his wife, Samantha, launched fashion brand Cefinn. Now we hear Carrie Johnson is planning her own business post-No 10: a lifestyle brand in the style of Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop.
We hear Carrie, pictured, has been considering a line of sustainable and organic products for young fashion-conscious women and children. Carrie was known for championing environmental causes during her husband’s three-year tenure as PM, and wore rented dresses.
She could draw on the expertise of her friend Lady Bamford, owner of the upmarket supermarket and deli Daylesford.
Gwyneth Paltrow started Goop in 2008 and it is now worth tens of millions of dollars. Carrie is likely to avoid making Gwyneth-esque candles.
Rocker’s room without views
Led Zeppelin guitar hero Jimmy Page seems almost resigned in his planning battle with popstar Robbie Williams over their neighbouring Kensington mansions. Page, pictured with partner Scarlett Sabet, tells us the building work has ruined his Holland Park view. “You could see along the backs of the houses, now you can’t see any of it,” he said. But he’s sanguine: “It’s fair enough; he applied for permission, if he sticks to those conditions, I’ll be fine”.
Liz will still get a Toby Jug
SOME good news for Liz Truss, who has had a tough first five weeks as Prime Minister, to say the least. Whatever happens, there will be a ‘Toby Jug’ of her face in the Houses of Parliament shop, we are assured, “even if she leaves soon”. The jugs are made for all prime ministers, and the Truss model is currently in production. The Boris Johnson model, left, is currently sold out. Every cloud has a silver lining.
Omari out for Queer Britain museum launch
To THE new Queer Britain museum in King’s Cross last night for its debut exhibition launch. On show is the door from Oscar Wilde’s Reading Gaol cell. Sir Ian McKellen said the space should get public money, while It’s a Sin actor Omari Douglas, right, said: “It seems whenever you take a step forward, there’s a person to question it. It’s so nice to have a safe space to look and take in all of this stuff.”
Pattie rolls back the risque years
Ronnie Wood wife Sally toasted Sixties fashion model Pattie Boyd new book in Soho last night. Boyd, ex-wife and muse of George Harrison and Eric Clapton told us she has “tonnes” of pictures that were too risque for publication. Ronnie Wood wife Sally were there too. At the back, Boyd takes aim at the employers who didn’t pay her. At a party at Kensington Palace, jewellery brand Garrard unveiled a collection with radiant model Joséphine De Le Baume, and actresses Lydia West and Gwendoline Christie.
