News Alert! Daniella will be in the new Rock of Love Charm School on VH1 starring Sharon Osbourne set to air on October 12, 2008. Tune in!

Daniella Clarke, creator of denim line Frankie B., world famous for popularizing the shocking “how low can you go” hip hugger, is truly living the Los Angeles fairy tale.

Swept off her feet at just sweet 16 by former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke, the two married and had a daughter, Frankie, who would later be immortalized when her mom started a denim line in 1998 and named it after her wee one.

The origins of the line took root a few decades ago when Clarke was always cutting and resewing her own jeans to fit her killer bod to achieve a more ’70s sexy look. She would often fashion her new creations after a pair of her favorite Dittos jeans that a friend borrowed and never returned. A huge denim line in the late ’70s and early ’80s, Dittos had a saddleback stitch and came in a Crayola box assortment of colors.

“I was obsessed with them,” says Clarke. “I used to beg my mom whenever a new color came out.”

In a full circle moment, Dittos recently contacted Clarke and told her she would be the perfect person to resurrect the line, and of course she jumped at the chance. Although Clarke often sports the widelegged Dittos, she says her favorites are still her Frankie B. boot cuts. “My boot cuts are my O.G.,” she laughs. This is quite a distinction, as Clarke’s closet boasts more than 300 pairs of jeans that she puts on a rotation.

It’s not just jeans for Clarke though, she is an avid collector of vintage frocks and every weekend she drives down the hill from her gorgeous house and browses the racks for design inspirations at her secret spot, Revival on Ventura Boulevard. But the weekend work stops there. When Clarke is at home she doesn’t talk on the phone or craft work e-mails. “I like to be at home when I’m home,” she says, adding that she works at her office five days a week and travels often. She also enjoys spending time just hanging with her hubby and 14-year-old daughter, who also happens to be a rock star in training. Frankie plays guitar in her own band called Sweet Gone Sour.

It’s fitting Frankie seems to be following in her dad’s footsteps, as Clarke manor often hosts parties that quickly turn into all-night jam sessions around the grand piano. The selfproclaimed rocker chick admits she basically grew up hanging outside the Troubadour and the Whisky, but doesn’t sing or play a lick. She’s happy to leave the music to an array of family and friends while they leave the home cooking to her. On any given night fabulous friends feast at their large Goth-style dining room table, which seats 10 and is nestled next to a custom-built, tiled fireplace. It’s all about the warm and cozy. (To personalize the fireplace, each member of the family created their own handmade tile — and Frankie’s flower piece sits smack in the middle.)

Clarke describes her home decorating style as “a little Mediterranean, a little rock.” The living room has a huge wraparound, pillow-strewn sofa for lounging or strumming one of the many guitars that line the rooms. “I don’t like it when a house feels unlived,” Clarke says. She wanted to keep it welcoming for Frankie’s friends, their French bulldog Chopper, and two cats, Smokey and Lickey. Gilby also stays cozy thanks to his own recording studio, complete with refrigerator and private entrance so as to not disturb the whole household during his late-night rock sessions with gads of musicians coming in and out. Clarke says she usually waits up for Gilby so they can spend some time together kicking back and watching a movie. Then she wakes up early, gets Frankie off to school, works out and heads to the office — a modern-day Superwoman complete with perfect hair. When the weekend rolls around again, Clarke’s been known to hop on the back of one of Gilby’s motorcycles for a ride up the coast to enjoy some beers at a road side café, The Rock Store.

Between traveling, being a wife and mother, and heading the Frankie B. empire it seems Clarke has found perfect harmony, all the while teetering on top of a pair of platforms. It only makes sense that she created a wardrobe that would take her from the backstage of a concert to the front row of a fashion show, or just as easily to the couch where she snuggles up with her family.
