Red carpet: TV Baftas
The week's best & worst dressed: May 10
One of the UK's most famous fashion designers has sent an unconventional message to fashionistas at London Fashion Week: stop buying clothes and start worrying about the environment.
Dame Vivienne Westwood strode down the catwalk dressed as a fashion guerilla, wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with 'Climate Revolution' and a drawn-on black eye. Westwood later told reporters she didn't want anyone to buy her clothes and that she was only interested in using fashion to air her views.
That proactive approach included handing out T-shirts bearing her photo and the slogan "I'm Julian Assange" to models and celebrities in the front row.
