The walls of the world?s tallest skyscraper were used as a vertical catwalk on Friday, with models rappelling down the building in Taiwan?s capital Taipei in fashionable sports outfits.

Using rope and safety harnesses, about 15 German models started 47 m above ground and walked down the side of the Taipei 101 building. It was a rehearsal for the main show to be held on Saturday, but drew scores of spectators. (Reuters)
