**Fashion designer Vivienne Westwood has agreed to become Patron of legal action
charity Reprieve.**

A long-standing supporter of Reprieve, Westwood has previously collaborated with
the charity on two projects. In February 2008 she sent models at her London Fashion
Week show out onto the catwalk wearing underwear in a fetching shade of ‘Guantánamo
orange’ as part of the charity’s ‘Fair Trial My Arse’ campaign, and last September
she designed a Reprieve necklace, with all profits going to the charity.

Reprieve Director Clive Stafford Smith said: “The assistance Vivienne has given 
us over the years has been invaluable – her support helps spread the word to a plethora
of different people, some of whom may not initially have put human rights at the
top of their agenda. I am very excited to have her officially on board in her new
capacity as Patron of Reprieve.”
