Supermodel Strut: Going for Gold

We all watched the astounding close of the Olympic ceremonies.  From the moment the incredible athletes sauntered wide-eyed into the stadium to the epic performance from the legendary Spice Girls to finally ending with the passing of the torch, the olympic evens of 2012 will never be forgotten.

One of the most intriguing and eye catching moments of the 2012 Closing Ceremonies was when the top supermodels in all of Britain showcased the best of Britian's fashion design.  The moment was short lived but very impacting as the one and only Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Georgia May Jagger, Stella Tennant, Karen Elson, David Gandy, Lily Cole, Lily Donaldson, and Jordan Dunn turned the stadium into a high-powered, high-energy catwalk.  Laced in glittering gold designs by some of the Englands greatest designers -- Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Christopher Kane, Victoria Beckham, Vivienne Westwood's Gold Label and more -- these models earned much admiration from its viewers for this widely anticipated fashion show.
