Thank god this never happened in India, not with any of our actors or models. I don’t get this how your expensive vintage dress can go in peace’s?

Kate Moss – the world’s most famous model arrived with fashion photographer Mario Testino at the Victoria & Albert museum to celebrate its new exhibition, in her vintage Thirties gown.

As the night and party began, the dress started to shred. The gown costing several thousand pounds first developed a little rip just beneath the right shoulder blade, then perhaps because of the frailty of the vintage cream satin, a gaping hole appeared in the middle of the back and another in the rear, revealing an apparent lack of underwear. Left with no choice she had to fold the dress up.

Moss, mother of four-yearold Lila Grace and who recently split from lover Pete Doherty, was then helped by her driver and others into the back of a car where she was driven to the home of Davinia Taylor, one of her close friends.

Party at Victoria & Albert museum was organised by Alexandra Shulman, the editor of British Vogue, the party marked the official launch of the museum’s autumn exhibition, The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947 – 1957.

The exhibition, which opens to the public on Saturday, features more than 100 dresses from Paris designers Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Balmain and Balenciaga and their London counterparts Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies.
