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. <\/p>\n
He is avoiding extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning over claims of sex offences. <\/p>\n
Julians been in the embassy for two years and its important that he doesnt slip into obscurity, said Ben Westwood. <\/p>\n
I want to highlight Julian Assanges plight. What happened to him is totally unfair. <\/p>\n
Assange who will be joined by six models during his catwalk outing has also inspired some of the clothes. <\/p>\n
Westwood told the Daily Mail his collection was influenced by costumes worn by Clint Eastwoods western films and also Assanges combat-beret look. <\/p>\n
The shows soundtrack will come by way of music from The Good, The Bad And The Ugly. <\/p>\n
Ive designed something for him along those lines and will be getting him to wear it, Ben added. <\/p>\n
Ive got another garment with a Julian Assange print. <\/p>\n
The British Fashion Council was \"unable to shed light on the story\", said a spokesperson as the organisation does not oversee model castings. <\/p>\n
