London Fashion Week: Activism Many designers used the platform during fashion week for social causes including brexit, climate change, women’s rights and justice for Grenfell tower. Vivienne Westwood used her autumn/winter 2019 catwalk “Homo Loquax” with other activists including Rose McGowan to address the crowd on a number of issues like the consequences of consumerism, climate change, and Brexit. She also chose to honour her Punk anti-establishment roots with her collection, disheveled styles and bold tartan. A slogan on a T-shirt said “What is good for the planet is good for the economy,” Justice4 Greenwell also took a stand at the fashion catwalk as the event took place 20 months after the tragedy which nobody has been held accountable for. 72 models including Emeli Sande, Adwoa Aboah and Clara Paget and activists walked the catwalk with T-shirt stating “No Death In Vain”. Designed by Grenwell Speaks and two young community members.
