LONDON Call them protest panties.
Designer Vivienne Westwood returned to London Fashion Week after a nine-year absence, and one of her models wore the outspoken designer's political opinions where it would win a lot of attention — on the tush.
Westwood protested the treatment of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay by cladding the lead model in her show in orange and black underwear reminiscent of the fluorescent orange jumpsuits worn by detainees at the U.S. prison camp.
At the start of the show, the model strutted down the catwalk and turned provocatively to the assembled photographers to flash panties printed with the words: "Fair trial my arse."
The message was an apparent reference to U.S. plans to prosecute Guantanamo Bay prisoners at military tribunals.
