A magic show, live jazz, and supermodels dancing on tables - Stella McCartney's special London Fashion Week show was electric.

All week McCartney's PRs had been playing their cards extremely close to their chest.
Then, just as the fourth vegetarian mini course was slipping down, a model seated at one of the tables yelled at a waiter, someone threw a chair, someone else leapt across the room in full attack mode and before the startled guests, who included Kate Moss, Rihanna, Peter Blake, Zaha Hadid, Paul Whitehouse, Richard E Grant and Minnie Driver, grasped quite what was going on, a flash-mob fashion show was taking place
