Vivienne Westwood Goes PoliticalWestwood said she would not vote for Brown's Labour Party if, as is speculated, he calls a general election.
Designer Vivienne Westwood used her spring-summer 2008 fashion show on Monday to rail against a plan by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown to increase the number of days terror suspects can be held without charge, Reuters reported.
Vivienne Westwood called her latest collection "56" after the proposal to hold people for 56 days and some of the models were wrapped in drapes bearing that number.
Vivienne Westwood, 66, who has kept her edge since her bondage-inspired creations for the Sex Pistols, also accused new British Prime Minister of behaving like a tyrant and said he should go.
"56 days is not going to protect us from terrorism," she told reporters after the show.
"We need protection from our tyrants, we need people in front of the law."
