  • Story Text: - INTRO: A host of celebrities has turned out in force for the glamorous grand opening of The Fashion Cafe in London's West End.

    The co-owners of the Fashion Cafe - supermodels Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer and Christie Turlington - stole the show at its opening in London on Thursday (September 26) night.

    Then exuberant Naomi led the way towards the patient crowd of thousands of onlookers, sending them into a frenzy of delight.

    London's Fashion Cafe is the third in a money-spinning chain fronted by the trio and fellow supermodel Elle Macpherson, who could not attend Thursday night's opening.

    Also at the party were Oasis's Noel Gallagher and girlfriend Meg Matthews, with guitarist Paul "Bonehead" Arthur, but without brother Liam.

    Guests walked along a raised red carpeted catwalk to reach the door, and had to negotiate some tricky steps at the end.

    The inevitable happened when a drag artiste toppled from his nine-inch platforms right in front of the cameras, in an undignified repeat performance of Naomi's famous catwalk tumble some years ago.
