A designer's way to support Julian Assange

A designer's way to support Julian Assange

In a campaign to support professional whistleblower and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, the acclaimed designer has created a unisex tshirt which features her face and the words 'I'm Julian Assange' printed on it.

There are countless ways of drumming up support for the cause you stand by and designer Vivienne Westwood is asking you to wear yours. In a campaign to support professional whistleblower and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, the acclaimed designer has created a unisex tshirt which features her face and the words 'I'm Julian Assange' printed on it.

Each tshirt has been priced at ยป40 and all profits will go towards Assange's website. Assange himself has been fighting a legal battle for over a year, to avoid deportation to Sweden, where he faces questioning over two alleged rapes. Ecuador granted him asylum at its London consulate in August, but Britain has refused him safe passage out of the country, leaving Assange holed up at the embassy as the two countries continue to clash. Westwood, who is a supporter of Assange, visited him at the embassy recently, dressed in her signature a show of support.
