Front woman for punkish music band Gossip and sometimes muse to designer Jean Paul Gaultier, Beth Ditto has launched a namesake apparel collection meant to provide larger-sized women with some ethically-made, edgier fashion options, an endeavor inspired by her own difficulty finding bold pieces reflective of her own tastes. Said Ditto on her new label:
“I am SO excited to use years of these experiences, passion for a good stretch, and advice from awesome designer friends to bring you this collection! Fashion for plus size women who deserve to love their bodies AND their clothes, who want access to the same high quality fabrics and craftsmanship everyone else has. Something beyond the uber-cheap, disposable fast-fashion that’s pushed on us.”
The debut eleven-piece collection of New York-made dresses, tops and skirts, available in U.S. sizes 14 – 28 (UK sizes 18 – 32) and priced from $65-$395 is now available on BethDitto.com.
