I heard of Beth Ditto when she performed for the Fendi show last time. Karl Lagerfeld adored her. and I tried to check her music, I am listening to some of her songs right now :) and now she is making her clothing for plus size women. I am happy she was given the chance by Evans, a high street store in UK. Jealous!!
I think that is the power of being a celebrity, they give you a chance. I wonder if I should become a pop sensation first and then I'll make my own fashion line? There are so many celebrities doing this line thing for the past few seasons already. Justin Timberlake, Kanye West. Even Nicole Richie is designing stylish maternity clothes! If they know what sells then why not right? But of course it also benefits the stores or brands. Come to think of it, it adds up to revenue having a pop icon have a small stall on your store with their names on those itchy tags.
People have mixed views about this thing, some people do not care, others gladly welcome them, and others feel hurt that they could have that opportunity. But hey, to compare quality with a well known personality, I think publicity will knock you out!
I would have to congratulate Beth Ditto still for having her line at Evans. At least plus size women have a new selection for fashionable clothing!
