Beth Ditto for Topshop? Yes, Please!

Reports are circulating this morning that Beth Ditto will be the next new face of Topshop alongside Kate Moss. It is rumoured that the lead singer of The Gossip was recently approached by Topshop to design her own collection. "Topshop want me to work with Kate. I'll do it only if I can design the clothes. If Kate can then so can I," she revealed. Despite her recent comments regarding Moss Ditto admits that they're different. "But men like bigger girls as much as skinny ones," she said. Either way, I would love to see Beth Ditto design collection for Topshop as a way of continuing to fly the flag for curveous women. However it's comments such as this made by The Sun, referring to Ditto as "porky" that do little or nothing to help change people's attitudes to size.

extra thin skelatal people are celebrated everyday (in magazinesads &catwalks) they are unhealthy but yet have the most wicked cutting edge clothing readilly availiable to them whenever they like. PEOPLE deserve the right to be able to express themselves through clothing. what do you want big women to do? go and eradicate themeslves? walk around naked? you will always get skinny 4-10 slim 12-16, curvy 18-22, big 24- and beyond women get over yourselves.

I think the real question is why do people care what bigger women are allowed to wear?...why do people feel the need to want to keep bigger women excluded from what society enjoys?. All people are created equal right?

You think Charlotte Church would be good to design plus size clothing for voluptious women ?? WHY? She's a size 14 at most, the biggest selling size in the UK is a 16 so I would persume someone designing these clothes would need to BE a plus size.....

Whether its healthy or unhealthy to be a size 4 or 24 we ALL would like fashionable clothes to wear, its catering for EVERYONE rather than saying you cant wear anything remotely fashionable because your unhealthy......!BIZARRE

Sorry but that women designing clothes for bigger men/women is promoting obesity.

all we hear from tv ect is about healthy eating.

and how kids are obese & teenager.

well topshop is a popular shop amongst teenagers, and im sure they dont want to be branded being supportive of obesity?

I'm a small girl myself, but I hate it when companies try to use extremely large people as part of their "we are real campaign". Being overweight is not real, it's just a mockery of people who are large; an extremity to being superthin. It's not fair at all. Now if the person designing was voluptuous Queen Latifah or Charlotte Church, I wouldn't have a problem.
