Prince does Paris (and so do Kate and Claudia)

Posted by Jane Murphy

It was VIPs a-go-go at yesterday’s Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris - including a surprise appearance by Prince.

Resisting the temptation to wear a raspberry beret (the kind you find in a second-hand store), The Artist Formerly Known As Symbol sported a gold spangled suit, which he claimed to have designed himself.

As you’d expect, the place was also teeming with supermodels. Claudia Schiffer looked positively serene as she glided through the media scrum outside the building…

Meanwhile, Kate Moss brought boyfriend Jamie Hince along, and just about managed to squeeze past the paparazzi without losing her cool…

Kate also had some words of admiration for the fashion pack. “You have to be young to do this,” she told reporters. “I don’t know how editors survive.”

Ah yes - as you go about your business in hospitals, schools, offices, shops and factories today, do heed Kate’s wise words and spare a thought for the people who have to sit round looking at fancy clothes all week.
