Moss has already helped Sir Philip set up with Topshop at the New York department store Barneys.

He is apparently also looking at Beijing and Hong Kong as other potential sites but nothing has been confirmed yet.

A source said: "For the Chinese teenager with an eye on Western fashions, Kate Moss is pretty much the coolest person on the planet. Philip Green knows that only too well."

Sir Philip paid Moss around £3 million to put her name on a clothes range inspired by her own name for Topshop in the UK.

Moss also has fashion deals with designer labels Rimmel, Bulgari and Versace.
