Katherine Hamnett was just featured on BBC London news in a studio interview after several designers pulled out from London Fashion Week following the US disaster (some more to do with logistics rather than sympathy).

She said fashion was trivial at a time like this when there are so many frightening things going on.

In a white tee shirt with red lettering reading "NO WAR" on the front and another "STOP AND THINK" on the studio screen she criticised the US, then Tony Blair and the conservative party for getting so much behind the US war mongering.
