CELEBRITY SINGLES NIGHT
JADE JAGGER has confirmed that she is single once again. After six months on the arm of debonair Internet entrepreneur Ben Elliot, the super-glamorous jewellery designer chose her own mother, Bianca, as her escort for this week's Moet & Chandon tribute to Philip Treacy � and was happily unfazed by bumping into another former squeeze, Dan Macmillan.

"I don't have a man," she told reporters. "I'm definitely single. I enjoy being single and I have two wonderful daughters to look after." Macmillan, for his part, remained coy about his current affairs of the heart, although he did concede that there was a new woman in his life. "There is no problem with Jade, we are still friends," he added. Another potential celebrity couple, who started tongues wagging on the night, consisted of man-about-town Tim Jefferies and May's Vogue cover girl Sophie Dahl. "He's being very attentive," a radiant Sophie declared, as the pair prepared to exit the Victoria & Albert museum for a "quick ciggie" (Sophie controversially claims that cigarettes are the key to her new slim physique). But those in-the-know know that Jefferies actually arrived with Gabby Harris, the creative director of Studd jeans.

ROLLING ON:
Rolling Stones' heiress, designer Jade Jagger, will continue on at avant garde jeweler Garrard.Dimitris Kambouris
- Fashion Wire Daily
April 20, 2002 -- The luxury jewelry world is now home to a high-profile break-up.
Famed Bond Street jeweler and silversmith Asprey is splitting from more forward-thinking jeweler Garrard.
On Monday, the Asprey & Garrard store in the tony Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue will become simply the Asprey store. Garrard, considered an avant garde jeweler by the British, will open a New York flagship at a later date.
The move is coinciding with the repositioning of Asprey as the purveyor of the authentic British luxury lifestyle. To round out its "lifestyle" offerings, Asprey will add watches, writing instruments, home accessories, clothing, shoes and fashion accessories to its current collection of silver and leather accessories, watches, porcelain, crystal, rare books and gems.
The shake-up is the first major move made by the company's owners, Silas Chou and Lawrence Stroll, who bought the jeweler from Prince Jefri, brother of the Sultan of Brunei, just under two years ago. Stroll and Chou also have substantial stakes in Tommy Hilfiger.
Asprey will expand its Fifth Avenue store from the 9,000 square feet it currently occupies to a total of 28,000 square feet when a remodel is completed by fall 2003. The company plans to open 10 more stores in the next five years in world capitals.
"Asprey will combine innovative design with the traditional British characteristics of flair and understatement," Gianluca Brozzetti, Asprey and Garrard group CEO said in a statement.
"Our branding will be discreet, our quality superb and everything we sell will be designed to last a lifetime."
Jade Jagger, daughter of Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger and who has designed for Asprey Garrard, will be creative director at Garrard.
