We recently brought you news of punk singer Beth Ditto’s first foray into fashion with a line for clothing brand Evans. Ditto must be brushing up on her style knowledge because she’s been spotted at Paris Fashion Week.
The celebrity-studded runway shows like Stella McCartney and Jean Paul Gaultier should seem like a natural place for an up-and-coming star like Ditto, but she admits to being completely out of her element. Despite many offers to appear at such events, she consistently turned them down.
“From the punk perspective, doing things like coming to Paris and going to all the fashion shows would be the downfall of your art,” Ms. Ditto said. “Punk can be very dogmatic and judgmental.”
Though she resisted for some time, the singer was eventually seduced by the fashion world. Maybe it was her upcoming line for Evans that caused her to open up to such a foreign world, but either way she seems to be settling right in. Read more about her Paris impressions here.
