Wow Factor





The amazing wow factor at the Olympics, other than Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps winning every race, was at the closing ceremony. A selection of ten iconic British supermodels strutted their stuff down the runway clad in dazzling gold designer creations to David Bowie's hit Fashion. Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lily Donaldson, Georgia May Jagger, Jourdan Dunn, Karen Elson, Stella Tennant, Lily Cole and David Gandy were the lucky ten who got to storm the Union Jack shaped runway on Sunday night.


“Moss and Campbell may be in catwalk semi-retirement but both put in classic catwalk displays. Moss poured down the catwalk like vodka onto ice: the only thing missing from that liquid perambulation (in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen bias-cut silk-lined show-stopper) was a signature cigarette perched in her pout,” reported British newspaper The Telegraph.
