Celebrities rubbed shoulders at Oxford's social bash of the season at Le Petit Blanc in Jericho.

They were out in their hordes at the lunch to support CLIC, Cancer and Leukaemia In Childhood.

They mingled with model Yasmin Le Bon, TV personality Anneka Rice and Formula One racing team boss Eddie Jordan, to eat a three-course meal and watch Whistles' autumn/winter collection on the catwalk.

Yasmin said: , who comes from Oxford, said she had really enjoyed the show and the models, most of whom were Whistles shop assistants, had been very professional. "CLIC is a fantastic charity to support and I've really enjoyed myself," she added.

Top chef Raymond Blanc, who owns Le Petit Blanc, said: "It was the first time we have done something like this but it's for a good cause and is good for the profile of the restaurant. The fashion show was fantastic." The clothes and Petit Blanc go together - both useful, fashionable, yet quality."

Organisers hope Suzi Usiskin said she was delighted with the outcome and hoped to have raised at least £10,000 from the event.
