In a rare runway moment Stella McCartney closed her autumn/winter show at Paris Fashion Week today with a heart-warming tribute to the late George Michael.

Instead of a traditional finale walk, the designer and Beatle’s daughter sent out an army of models singing and dancing to a remixed version of his song Faith.

The upbeat sing-a-long saw models raucously chanting the lyrics to George Michael’s iconic hit with coordinated dance moves to match.

A collection which celebrated Britishness, McCartney’s memorial was fitting for a figure that made such an impact on the fashion world and saw guests jumping to their feet and joining in.

A defining character in both the music and fashion industry, George Michael, who passed away at the age of 53 on Christmas Day last year, was well-known for his iconic style.
