Beth Ditto who wears 28 size was the one to open and close the fashion show by Jean Paul Gaultier during Paris Fashion Week.
Out of all fashion weeks held cyclically half-yearly almost worldwide, global meaning have only four of them - New York, London, Milan and most important from all - Paris. Paris Fashion Week with collections for spring and summer 2011 began on September the 28 and lasted till October 6.
Jean Paul Gaultier didn't open Paris FW, but certainly it will be one of longest discussed shows of the event, and it is thanks to plump Beth Ditto (from the rock team Gossip ) who once named Karl Lagerfeld "miserable little man", and said that Kate Moss was "as boring as hell", nevertheless on October the second she walked on the Parisian catwalk shoulder to shoulder with Anja Rubik and others.
Models usualy wear the size "zero", sometimes "2", that is much smaller than the majority of women. Let us remind, that Sarah Jessica Parker in her slimmest period of shooting series Sex and the City wore the size "2" at the height of about 160 centimetres. We say of PLUS size having size 14 on mind. Apparently, Beth Ditto is wearing 28.
In spite of her sizes, Beth presented herself very naturally on the catwalk. During the last sequence she had on close-fitting and really tempting flower creation in black and powder pink, fishnet stockings and seductive platforms by Janes Visions .
The show highlighted the gigantic difference between zero and super plus sizes and it took the floor in discussion on the unhealthy appearance of too thin models as well as anorexia indirectly advertised by the fashion business. Beth Ditto is exaggerated, but she is still an evidence for the fact that bony bodies are going out of fashion.
