DESIGNER FARHI ROBBED AT KNIFEPOINT

Fashion designer NICOLE FARHI has been robbed at knifepoint outside her London home.
The 61-year-old, whose designs are a favourite of stars including Colin Firth and Coldplay singer Chris Martin, was attacked by two men as she returned home on Wednesday (30Apr08) night.
The suspects are believed to be responsible for a spate of incidents in the exclusive North London neighbourhood, which have all targeted lone women.
Fahri escaped unharmed but the robbers stripped her of a $16,000 (GBP8,000) ring, a watch and some cash.
