Celebrity Topshop fans, and friends of the boss, were out in force last night for the store’s Fashion Week after-party.
Models Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell, music supremo Simon Cowell, and Kelly Brook, were all at the lavish bash thrown by the store’s boss Sir Philip Green to celebrate 25 years of London Fashion Week.
And in a massive stamp of approval for the British high street chain and London fashion, U.S. Vogue editor Anna Wintour was also in attendance at the private party at the Ivy Club in London’s Covent Garden.
The party was held after the Topshop Unique show during the London Fashion Week yesterday, where model-turned-designer Kate Moss was seen sharing the front row with Sir Philip’s budding designer daughter Chloe, 18.
Last night, Kate changed from her catwalk-watching outfit of hotpants, smart shirt and fedora combo for a demure black and flower-print dress with chandelier earrings and a diamond cuff.
But Kelly Brook was the star who got heads turning.
Wearing a very shiny pvc-style dress, Kelly’s dress was also very short.
Kate’s boyfriend The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts, comedian David Walliams and singer Estelle were also at the party as well as models Lily Donaldson, Lara Stone, Eva Herzigova and photographers David Bailey and Tim Walker.
Designers Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Bailey, Zandra Rhodes and Erdem Moralioglu were also in attendence. Entertainment was provided by Bryan Ferry.
It might have come as a relief for Simon Cowell. The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent boss is apparently in for a ‘treat’ next month as Kate is planning to to serenade him at his lavish 50th birthday bash.
A source has revealed she might go for a a song by new best friend Lily Allen, saying: ‘It’s a toss up between a sexy Marilyn Monroe-style Happy Birthday, or her speciality It’s Not Fair, which she’s been practising with Lily.’
Simon’s party in October – rumoured to be costing a tidy ?500,000 – is being thrown by Sir Philip and is expected to be a highlight of this year’s social calendar.
Meanwhile Naomi Campbell made a storming return to London Fashion Week at the Issa Spring/Summer 2010 show, revealing a flawless figure as she modelled swimsuits.
Last night Sir Philip praised Burberry and Matthew Williamson for returning to London.
He said: ‘We must support the incredible talent that is the British fashion industry, the second largest employer in our country.’
