Kate Moss making ?3M in 12 seconds

Style queen Kate Moss found her debut as a fashion designer an exhausting task, judging by these photos.
Launching her first collection of clothes for Topshop clearly left the supermodel tired out – even though she posed with her designs at the chain’s flagship store in London’s Oxford Street for just 12 seconds.
She’d been paid ?3million by Topshop boss Philip Green to promote the range.
After the blink-and-you-missed-it appearance, Kate, 33, left with Green and pals Davinia Taylor and Sadie Frost to celebrate at celebrity hangout China Tang.
But just a few hours later, the notorious party girl was snoozing in a car taking her home to bed.
She was dropped off at her London abode, missing her shoes, just before midnight.
Yesterday morning, her rock star boyfriend Pete Doherty turned up at her door with a bunch of flowers.
Green said the launch had been a “huge success” and Vogue hailed the range as the most sought-after high street collection in history. It sparked frenzied scenes across the country when the range of floaty dresses, buttoned jackets, skinny jeans and tiny shorts went on sale.
In Scotland only two stores stocked it – Glasgow’s Argyle Street and Princes Street in Edinburgh.
In Glasgow, around 50 people, some of whom had queued for hours, were waiting for the store to open at 7am. Shoppers were given 20 minutes to look at the range and limited to five purchases each.
And some were disappointed to find only a third of the 90 items were available yesterday.
Three women from Greenock, who had queued since midnight, found the items they were after won’t be available for several weeks.
In Edinburgh, the first shopper, American Johnny Armbruster, 60, bagged a glam dress for his wife.
Despite the rush, Topshop said they had not sold out of items as they ordered a lot of stock in advance.
Some pieces have already turned up on eBay, though, at more than double their original price.
However, a spokesman for the internet auction site said bidding did not seem “massively excitable”.
