Beth Ditto is rock's gift to voluptuous ladies. She's got a larger than life personality and an inimitable style that screams confidence. And now she's set to launch a range of styles for high street retailer Evans due to hit stores in July. The collection will feature graphic dresses, oversized knitwear and accessories for the plus-size women's clothing chain. This is the second big story about a curvy woman breaking in to the otherwise svelte fashion world this week (see Adele breaking in to the pages of Vogue http://current.com/items/89779875/british_singer_adele_headed_for_vogue.htm). Do you think the fashion industry has finally accepted that not all women are 6 ft tall bean poles and they're making an effort to get curves on to the catwalk?

    • In a word, no. In two words, not yet.

      Valentino's embraced curves, which is great. Baby Phat makes a great line from sizes 0-26. Lane Bryant is getting more and more fashion forward every day. There are other examples I can't think of right now. But I doubt mainstream runway/editorial fashion will feature plus size fashion as much or as lavishly as they do sizes 0-6.
