We were asked to create a "dress for a Presidential Ball" entirely out of tin foil, with gaffers tape, hot pink yarn, and a few sewing needles as our tools. We chose not to use the yarn, since it didn't seem appropriate for a gown...this picture was taken about halfway through (don't worry, we covered the tape!). We were competing against Erin Isakov of Erin Snow and her assistant Abby. In the end three judges, one each from Jane magazine, Black Book, and Womens Wear Daily, decided that our dress was the standout winner. Feels so good to win, doesn't it?! weeee!

The world thought you were too thin, but you became the most famous model of all time. The world thought you'd never recover from those awful coke photos, but you went on to land FIFTEEN major campaigns. And when you showed up at London Fashion Week last week in high waisted, flared pants the world said "SKINNY JEANS?!

Moss - who is regularly photographed wearing Topshop clothes - sat in the front row of the show with her t-shirt snugly tucked into her flared jeans.<br /><br />Fashion watchers will now expect to see the look picked up by women around the world.
