Vivienne Westwood has never shied away from controversy, and when we heard the news about her turning up to David Cameron's house in a tank to protest fracking plans, we knew she'd have something special planned for London Fashion Week.

The designer held another anti-establishment protest today ahead of her Red Label spring/summer 16 show in the form of this aptly titled 'Fash Mob'.

Kitted out in head-to-toe Vivienne Westwood, the designer and a band of models paraded the streets branding signs reading "Climate Revolution," "Fracking is a crime," "Austerity is a crime" and “Politicians Are Criminals” - a campaign turned into slogan tees featured in the Vivienne Westwood Man spring/summer 2016 collection.

This isn't the first time the 74-year-old has used fashion to spread her Climate Revolution campaign message either, taking to her own catwalk in 2012 bearing a giant slogan banner.

Westwood's Red Label S/S 16 show was every inch as anarchistic, with models transformed by dystopian Mad Max-esque makeup and the Fash Mob cheering from the rafters.

The event was also a star-studded affair - supermodels Lizzy Jagger and Alice Dellal stormed the catwalk, while celebs like Lily Allen and Foxes were spotted on the FROW.
