Actress Jaime Winstone made her modelling debut in Vivienne Westwood's first London Fashion Week in nine years.
Young starlet Jaime modelled over sized sweatshirts, mini-skirts and blazers, embellished with chains, buttons and patches, inspired by 1970s punk rock.
The notorious Miss Westwood also made her usual political statement by adorning her models in bright orange underwear with the slogan 'Fair trail my arse', referring to the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention centre.
The underwear is to be sold in Agent Provoccateur stores and any profits made will be donated to the non-governmental organisation Reprieve, to provide prisoners with legal assistance.
