Frost French, Sadie Frost and Jemima French's contemporary clothing line, want Gemma Ward for an ad campaign. But they want her now, at this weight. Not later, when she's lost it, or when she decides to get back into modeling. They want a real girl, albeit a really, really, ridiculously good-looking girl, to be the face of their brand.

After studying a foundation course in Cheltenham, she did her BA in footwear at Cordwainers College. “Shoes are like small sculptural buildings in their own right. I just love the challenge, the technical restrains...
