Julian Assange makes modelling debut at London Fashion …

The Australian WikiLeaks founder will reportedly model for Vivienne Westwoods son, Ben Westwood, at a fashion show staged at the Ecuadorean Embassy, where he has been seeking refuge for the past two years.

He is avoiding extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over claims of sex offences.

Julians been in the embassy for two years and its important that he doesnt slip into obscurity, said Ben Westwood.

I want to highlight Julian Assanges plight. What happened to him is totally unfair.

Assange who will be joined by six models during his catwalk outing has also inspired some of the clothes.

Westwood told the Daily Mail his collection was influenced by costumes worn by Clint Eastwoods western films and also Assanges combat-beret look.

The shows soundtrack will come by way of music from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly.

Ive designed something for him along those lines and will be getting him to wear it, Ben added.

Ive got another garment with a Julian Assange print.

The British Fashion Council was "unable to shed light on the story", said a spokesperson as the organisation does not oversee model castings.
