Fashion || Rule Breaker: BETH DITTO

Lead singer of the GOSSIP brings a new meaning to breaking the rules of Fashion.

She is a part of an underrepresented demographic in the market

Plus Size/Real Size women. It is a market, that in the past, lacked versatility and options.

Beth Ditto at EVANS Collection (Owned by Top Shop) is currently available in sizes 14-32 and starts at £18

Excerpts from "STYLE STUDIO: Beth Ditto"

"I love to break all the rules I was taught as a kid, I was always a fat kid, like really chubby.
And I was always taught not to wear horizontal stripes, and not to wear floral patterns,

and not to wear anything too crazy and colorful.

I think when I was about 18 I started to undo all of these rules I had learn and started to dress crazy all of the time."

Ditto on Punk Rock and the Fashion Industry:

"I think fashion is an incredibly powerful tool...punk would have been nothing without fashion.
Punk was nothing if not fashion. People were like, "oh fashion is so shallow." Well the people in fashion think really shallow.

I dont ever feel like the designers are really shallow...all my experiences with them have been incredible artists
who have a broad spectrum who are working in a very narrow industry"
