Gossip girl Beth Ditto delivers first fashion line

Gossip lead singer and icon for plus-size women the world-over, Beth Ditto, has released her debut fashion line this week, an eleven-piece collection that is available in sizes UK 18-32.

Highlight pieces include form-fitting dresses (yes), silk jumpsuits (yes, yes), leggings, tops, and a hand-embroided, vintage-sourced denim jacket (pictured looking splendid on Beth, above).

On the aesthetic front, vibrant op-art prints are emblazoned on silks and rayons, while gold lamé club looks are off-set by vintage-style tea dresses and well-tailored pencil skirts.

Prints incorporate lipstick kisses, make-up palettes and electric eye images that add a bold fashion vision often excluded from plus-size lines.

Says Beth: “Beyond trends, beyond chain stores, I wanted to create something all its own, something just for us, made with love and consideration. Made ethically in the USA as a small company with no big corporate input. Uncompromising, unapologetic, and timeless.”
