London designer asks WikiLeaks founder to do the catwalk

British designer Ben Westwood has asked Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder currently holed up at Ecuador’s London Embassy, to star in a fashion show along with Hollywood celebrities. Assange, an Australian, is trying to avoid extradition to Sweden for publishing highly classified American military and diplomatic documents in 2010. Westwood’s mother, legendary British fashion designer Vivienne Westwood, is a keen supporter of Assange, and wore a T-shirt with the slogan “I am Julian Assange” when she paid him a visit at the embassy in 2012. “He is a good-looking man and I hope he is going to model,” Ben Westwood said.
