Then some regular models came out in coloured furs, sparkle knickers, dresses with confetti and jumpers with kittens on them. Then a group of young girls did a ballet routine. ' Simon ChilversPhotograph: Katie Collins/PAMeadham Kirchhoff: 'This was followed by a another group of models who appeared standing on what looked like a wedding cake/jewellery box with a ballerina on top. After this, the Courtneys came back and there was a big finale. Everyone smiled, including Anna Wintour – who for the record is much more smiley at shows that she gets credit for.'
