<\/a><\/p>\nEveryone loves Beth Ditto. If it\u2019s not for her gifting us with karaoke classics like \u2018Standing In The Way of Control\u2019 with Gossip, it might be for bringing her unique brand of sass to the catwalk\u00a0at Marc Jacobs\u2019\u00a0and Jean Paul Gaultier’s fashion week shows.<\/p>\n
Well, the singer\/model\/all round awesome gal has announced her forthcoming, self-titled, plus-size clothing line. What\u2019s more, to celebrate this exciting news Beth has collaborated with longtime pal Jean Paul Gaultier (casual) on a limited edition T-shirt. The playful design features a front and back print of Gaultier\u2019s iconic bullet bra \u2013 think 80s Madonna tour goddess vibes \u2013 on an oversize jet-black T-shirt dress, complete with three-dimensional adjustable corset laces on the back.<\/p>\n
Not only did Ditto walk the runway for Gaultier, but also wore a custom gown by the designer at her wedding. Only fitting then that he be the first person for Ditto to collaborate with. \u201cJean Paul is the most generous, positive person, he truly loves women of all sizes and ages and knows how to make everyone feel gorgeous.\u201d Ditto says of Gaultier. \u201cI love that this shirt is funny and chic at the same time, like all the best people!\u201d<\/p>\n
Gaultier has a suitably positive view on the collaboration, which sees the designer continue in his tradition of embracing non-traditional models and stepping outside of the boundaries of the fashion industry. \u201cBig girls are beautiful and Beth is super beautiful! Long live the beauty of shapes, boobs and bottoms. This is a new concept, a loose fit corset. And Beth fits it perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n
What a dream team. Due out this Feb, Beth\u2019s collection will focus on prints as vibrant as her personality and well-tailored pieces, with silks, rayons and beautiful embroidery \u2013 something she notes is lacking in plus-size lines. \u201cThis line is by us, for us, period. It\u2019s my lifelong dream to get to design real clothes for big people, clothes that are comfortable and cool.\u201d Amen to that.<\/p>\n
