Trucks rolled into the arena carrying billboard-sized posters of the models. The images then fell to reveal the models themselves, all clad in gold, posing and strutting to the sounds of David Bowie's "Fashion."

All the models wore bespoke creations from designers including Alexander McQueen, Erdem, Vivienne Westwood, Christopher Kane and Burberry.

Victoria Beckham received double billing during the closing ceremony - she performed with the Spice Girls, and one of her designs was featured in the fashion segment of the show.
