arrived to the Old Bailey Criminal Court in London, wearing a bright yellow suit and black combat boots.

This wasn’t exactly performance art. It was the latest instance of Westwood expressing her support for the the WikiLeaks founder, whom she’s stood by since the beginning of his nearly seven-year stint in London’s Ecuadorean embassy. This time, she did so with mounting urgency, emerging from 16 weeks in isolation to protest outside of the court where Assange’s trial is set to continue in September.
Good morning from me and also from Vivienne Westwood, who just suspended herself inside a giant bird cage outside the Old Bailey and pretended to be a canary in a coalmine to protest the extradition of Julian Assange 🐥
