"I want to get first pick. I’m a fan of Kate Moss and I usually shop at Topshop. I have seen previews and stuff in photos but I don’t know what I want yet," she said.

Yasmin was accompanied by her mother, 35-year-old Katherine Kidd, who said she’d allowed her daughter to take the day off.

"She tried to get the Anya Hindmarch bag and went to lots of Sainsbury’s and couldn’t get it, so I thought I would let her do Topshop. One day off won’t hurt - she’s an A student," she said.

Also in the queue was Marie Raymond, a 26-year-old from Nice, France, who’s on holiday in London.

"I want to buy Kate Moss clothes for me and my friends. I like her style - she always wears the right things and I like her look," she said.

Five item limit on Kate’s collection - April 22 2007
Shoppers snapping up the new Kate Moss fashion collection will be limited to five items each to prevent the clothes appearing on eBay.

The high street chain is braced for huge demand for the model’s designs when they go on sale on May 1.

A Kate Moss "countdown to launch" board will fill a window of the company’s flagship Oxford Street store from Monday.

The collection of 50 designs includes clothes, bags, shoes and belts.

Prices range from £12 for a vest top to £150 for a cropped leather jacket.

A Topshop spokesman said the chain wanted to avoid the clothes being auctioned online on launch day.

He said: "This is to stop eBaying and people grabbing armfuls of things to put online. It isn’t foolproof but what can you do as a store?"

Clothes in the collection include skinny jeans, one-shoulder mini dresses and T-shirts with the letter K woven in to the design.

The range will be on sale at 225 Topshop stores. It is not expected to sell out because the collection is not limited edition.

Kate’s early poses in picture auction - April 17 2007
An unseen photograph of Kate Moss taken at a quarry in Croydon is going under the hammer.

The image was taken by the photographer Corinne Day two years after the model was discovered at JFK airport at the age of 14.

Never published before, Kate Taken In Croydon, dating from 1990, is one of a series of photographs of the supermodel going on sale at Christie’s next month. It is being sold by a friend of the star, and is expected to fetch £6,000.

The photographer’s famous image of Kate At Home, taken for their first Vogue collaboration in 1993 and showing the then 19-year-old dressed in pants and pink vest and surrounded by fairy lights, is expected to sell for £7,000.

The Vogue photographs moved grunge into the mainstream and were infamous for kickstarting what was known as the "heroin chic" look.

Two naked portraits include a 1996 platinum print by Irving Penn, expected to sell for around £22,000 and Albert Watson’s giant 2m sq image of a naked Kate, expected to fetch £15,000.

A complete set of six prints of the model without make-up, by Chuck Close, could be snapped up for between £15,000 and £20,000.

Christie’s London Head of Photographs Yuka Yamaji said: "Kate Moss is a cultural icon and arguably the most influential model of our day."

Photographs of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, as well as one of Madonna wearing Minnie Mouse ears, will also be included in the photography sale, which takes place on May 31.
