\nFrom the moment punk rock fashion icon Beth Ditto announced plans to design her own plus-size line last December, the news\u00a0was surrounded by a buzz of excitement. Now available online<\/a>, the 11 piece collection features a series of vibrantly printed coordinates, a disco-ready lam\u00e9 jumpsuit and vintage sourced denim jackets. This ambitious project has served as a learning process for Ditto, who continuously stayed true to her vision and resisted compromise every step of the way.\u00a0“I\u2019ve learned so much throughout the creation of this line,” she said at the Berlin launch yesterday. “And I\u2019ve come to realise that no matter who you are, you\u2019ll never be 100% happy with the results.”

\nDitto has never been one to play it safe, in her music career or her personal style. That is why it\u2019s no surprise she upheld this mentality when creating a collection defined by bold designs and distinct silhouettes. In a society that teaches plus-size women to be ashamed of their bodies, the fashion industry imposes rules that force women into hiding their figures with oversized shapes and monochromatic colour schemes. The designer fights against this trend, stating: “Oftentimes, plus-size bodies are either over sexualized or told they must cover up. In reality, it shouldn\u2019t be about looking too big or too small.” Her straight-forward\u00a0nature is amplified with the addition of equally outspoken\u00a0models Barbie Ferreria and Philomena Kwao. It’s clear Ditto finds inspiration and empowerment through\u00a0similarly strong women, citing Missy Elliott’s infamous “trash bag” ensemble\u00a0in her music video for “The Rain<\/a>” as a monumental moment for women’s fashion.
\n <\/p>\n

‘When you have a woman dressing herself in an outfit that makes her appear even bigger than she is, for me that\u2019s about embracing yourself and being shameless about the space you\u2019re taking up’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018When fashion worries too much about creating the beautiful woman, it gets boring. I\u2019ve always wanted to look a little crazy\u2019
\n <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to creating pieces with out-there designs, Ditto also places a strong emphasis on durability. \u201cQuality fabrics are a rarity in high-street fashion. I wanted to create ensembles that feel good on your skin and won\u2019t fall apart.\u201d The collection\u00a0is a reflection of this conscious effort, with items\u00a0designed to withstand trends\u00a0and time alike.
