Beth Ditto is living large! The lead singer of the Indie-rock band, GOSSIP is shaking things up in the fashion industry. Ditto just launched a clothing line for the UK-based, plus-sized brand EVANS, owned by Arcadia Group Limited. AGL also owns TopShop. Ditto designed a collection for full figure women sizes 10-28 and she did a hell of a good job at it. The pieces are bright, colorful, funky, and should we even dare to say—SEXY!

She used a lot of prints on her designs and that was a brilliant idea. The right print will dissimulate any imperfections, and visually slim you down. Thank goodness for optical illusions, your eyes will play a trick on you! She also designed some handbags and shoes that are quite dreadful, but at the least the clothes weren’t bad at all and she’s off to a great start on making women feel comfortable in their own skin. No matter what anyone says, we strongly feel ALL women are beautiful!
