A file photo taken on November 26, 2008, shows French fashion designer Nicole Farhi receiving the "Entrepreneur Of The Year" award in central London. Nicole Farhi was strangled until she passed out and threatened with a knife in a doorstep robbery last April, a court in London heard Thursday May 28, 2009. Farhi was allegedly attacked from behind in the driveway of her north London home. It is alleged that Daniel Mykoo forced his arm around her throat, while his brother Matthew wielded a knife during the ordeal. The case continues.
