PA PhotosSo there were hordes of bloodthirsty shoppers waiting outside, dresses that sold out in minutes, and definitely a few elbows flying at the launch of the model’s first Kate Moss for Topshop collection.

PA Photos“Why oh why can’t we all look like this?” us GLAMOUR girls asked ourselves when we saw Kate arrive at 2007’s Fashion Rocks event. Well, among other reasons (the razor sharp cheek bones being one of them), we don’t all have the entire Topshop team on hand to design us our own bespoke dress covered in £40,000 of Swarovski crystals like she does.
