I love that Beth Ditto, the plus-size singer of punk band The Gossip, tossed down the gauntlet to Topshop, after they asked her to perform at their London store. According to this NY Times article, she said “I don’t think it’s fair to put my face somewhere where they would never let me in there to wear their clothes,” she complained on a blog. If the chain hoped to capitalize on her grooviness, she wrote, why not accord her the same status it does Kate Moss, and let her create a “big girl” line for Topshop".
So, they did! LOL
