Beth Ditto designs again
Beth Ditto is launching another clothing range for Evans.
The Gossip singer – whose debut line was released last year to rave reviews – is teaming up the British high street store once more to create a new collection, which will cater for plus-sized women.
Talking about the new line an Evans spokesperson said: ‘It will be Victorian mixed with 80s punk, through to 40s vintage with a noughties modern edge.’
Beth wears plus-sized clothes herself and knows it’s important for larger women to be creative with clothes in order to flatter their body shape.
She has said: ‘I don’t understand all these women who say they feel betrayed by fashion. A piece of clothing can’t talk – it can’t tell you that you can’t have it – so really, you’re just telling yourself that.
‘You make yourself the victim, because if you want clothes that bad, then make them yourself. You have to get creative if you’re fat. I’m really good at turning a belt into a necklace, and I can always find a nice pair of earrings.’
The 29-year-old musician has also previously revealed she had been keen to design her own range as she has been customising outfits for years.
She explained: ‘In the 90s, when pedal pushers were in, I lived in Arkansas in America and it was 10 years behind in fashion, so my mom showed me how to make them myself by taking apart some jeans and stitching them from scratch.’
