The daughter of billionaire Topshop founder Sir Philip Green is set to design her own range for the clothing store.

Chloe Green said she was keen to create her own clothing line and the British high street store would be perfect for her.

"Hopefully, one day I might design a Chloe Green at Topshop range," said Chloe - who is friends with Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, who already has her own range for Topshop.

"I've not really thought it through yet, but I don't think it's asking too much.

"Fashion isn't all glitz and glamour, and I'd never want to be a model. Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell are always telling me what a tough career it is."

Sir Philip, 57, said he would be happy for his daughter to follow in his fashion footsteps.

"My kids know the privileged life they've had but they see how hard I work," he said.

"They're very grounded and they understand the things I don't approve of. What would make me angry is if Chloe or Brandon thought they didn't have to work."
