The founder of fashion label Kookai has admitted to crashing her luxury Ranger Rover into a home and fleeing the scene while drink driving.

Danielle Vagner, who co-founded fashion brand and is worth an estimated $100million, appeared in the Melbourne Magistrates Court on Wednesday, where she pleaded guilty to seven driving-related charges.

The 53-year-old was twice the legal limit when she crashed into the front of a house in South Yarra and was later filmed driving her mangled car down a Melbourne alleyway on June 12 last year.

Vagner had taken three Valium tablets the night before the incident to help cope with tooth pain, the court heard.
