Fashion Rocks




Music and fashion were brought together Last night at The Royal Albert Hall in London for the suitably glamorous and fabulous Fashion Rocks. Sponsored by Swarovski and in aid of the Prince's Trust. The event was hosted by the Hollywood pairing of Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson, which featured fashion shows by renound fashion designers whose creations were accompanied by the music of international artists. These included; Alicia Keys for Armani, Timbaland for Dolce and Gabbana, Lily Allen for Chanel, The Gossip for Christopher Kane, Joss Stone for Calvin Klein and various others. Surprise guest of the evening was Whitney Houston, who had been hiding in a London hotel as to not ruin her unexpected appearance. She was there to discuss the charitable work done by the Prince's Trust.



The focus of the night began on who was wearing what on the red carpet. Fashion icon and supermodel Kate Moss, wore a 1920s style flapper dress, encrusted with 20,000 swarovski crystals, estimated to be worth £40,000. The dress was a copy of the one she wore on her first date with Johnny Depp and is to be auctioned off by Topshop on eBay in aid of the Prince's Trust. Other stars looking fabulous included Sienna Miller in a simple but stylish knee length, black silk, capped sleeve dress and Claudia Schiffer in a floor length silver, elbow length, crystal encrusted gown. On the otherhand some celebrities failed to impress in the fashion stakes. Performer for Calvin Klein for the night, Joss Stone, wore a Hot pink, fitted, sleeveless dress with clumpy white shoes and Naomi Campbell wore a black diamante encrusted bra and knickers under a see-through chiffon dress by Dolce and Gabbana.
