The first shoppers started queuing for the new Kate Moss collection today, nearly eight hours before it goes on sale at Topshop.
First in line outside the chain's flagship Oxford Street store was a 16-year-old who took the day off school especially.
A freelance journalist and a TV reporter were among the eight people in line this afternoon.
The supermodel's debut fashion collection will prompt a shopping frenzy at Topshop when it launches nationwide tomorrow morning, experts predict.
A four-hour preview is being held at the chain's flagship store from 8pm until midnight tonight.
First in line today was Yasmin Kidd, 16, from Blackheath, south east London, who arrived before 12.30pm.
"I want to get first pick. I'm a fan of Kate Moss and I usually shop at Topshop. I have seen previews and stuff in photos but I don't know what I want yet," she said.
Yasmin was accompanied by her mother, 35-year-old Katherine Kidd, who said she'd allowed her daughter to take the day off.
"She tried to get the Anya Hindmarch bag and went to lots of Sainsbury's and couldn't get it, so I thought I would let her do Topshop. One day off won't hurt - she's an A student," she said.
Also in the queue was Marie Raymond, a 26-year-old from Nice, France, who's on holiday in London.
"I want to buy Kate Moss clothes for me and my friends. I like her style - she always wears the right things and I like her look," she said.
