To raise awareness of its Save the Arctic campaign, Greenpeace enlisted the talents of designer and activist Vivienne Westwood to create a T-shirt illustrating its cause.
As part of the project, photographer Andy Gotts captured 60 celebrities from the worlds of television, film, music and fashion showing their support for the cause by wearing the T-shirt.
The images will be on display in advertising slots at Waterloo tube station in London until July 26 and it is hoped that the gallery of images will help raise further public awareness for Greenpeace's Save the Arctic campaign.
Awareness around environmental causes have received a great boost from celebrities this week, with the Westwood campaign coinciding with Leonardo DiCaprio donating $15 million to animal, ocean and environment charities.
The campaign aims to prevent oil drilling in the Arctic and is backed by a petition with more than 7 million signatures.
It is thought that such drilling could limit the habitats of native wildlife or result in damaging oil spills which would pollute the surrounding waters and create yet another threat to the world's oceans.
Andy Gotts was joined by Vivienne Westwood, Sadie Frost, and model Leebo Freeman when the images were unveiled on Monday (13 July).
Westwood and Gotts met when the photographer shot the fashion designer for a project named iCons, which he was creating for Elton John.
Gotts describes Westwood as 'a remarkable woman' and says they came up with the idea for the T-shirt campaign after naturally clicking on set.
Westwood drew on her extensive fashion contacts for the shoot, which features top British models Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Lily Cole and Alice Dellal, while stars including Coldplay singer Chris Martin, George Clooney, Tracey Emin and Nicole Scherzinger were keen to show their support.
