KATE Moss has gone to the Far East for inspiration for her Topshop Christmas 2009 range, as these glamorous images show.

Chinese and Japanese influences are everywhere in the outfits designed and shown off by the supermodel, which will be available in shops and online from tomorrow.

The pieces, including dresses shaped like kimonos and cheongsams in floaty chiffons and luxurious silks, are designed for day wear and for festive evenings out. Sleeves on a "Geisha Rose" print blouse are voluminous and bell-shaped, while prints of bamboo, flying storks, lotus flowers and fireworks on other pieces create a festive oriental mood.

Highlights include a traditional floral beaded long-sleeved dress, which is one-shouldered, while the skirt of a strapless mini dress is covered in delicate black mesh petals and gold beads.

Floral printed silk pyjamas are adorned with an embroidered "K" and are accompanied by a drawstring bag made in the same fabric.
