A designer dress by the late Alexander McQueen, modelled by fashion favourite Kate Moss, has sold at auction for £100,000.
High street clothing mogul Phillip Green purchased the dress that Kate modelled at last night’s (February 18th) Fashion for Relief show, which was put on by Naomi Campbell as a fundraising event for victims of the Haiti earthquake.
And while we here at Secret Sales HQ knew that such a high-profile show for such a worthwhile cause would have no trouble attracting the hottest celebrities, little did we know that it would signal Kate’s return to the catwalk.
The model proudly showcased the striking printed mini-dress, which was part of the late designer’s spring/summer 2010 collection – but when the designer dress went under the hammer, she appeared to be overcome with emotion.
As Topshop boss Phillip Green made the winning bid, Kate – who was a close friend of the late Alexander McQueen – broke down in floods of tears.
Last week, in a tribute to the designer, the supermodel’s spokesperson released a statement saying: "Kate is shocked and devastated at the tragic loss of her dear friend Lee McQueen. Her thoughts are with his family at this sad time."
But the clothing designer’s efforts contributed towards the event raising a massive £1.4 million for victims of the Haitian disaster – well done Naomi!
