I am very impressed to see Jean Paul Gaultier's SS11 show hit the catwalk with a controversy! The show included UK size 28 Beth Ditto (right image) and one other "plus-size" model alongside the usual band of waifs. As is fitting for a show inspired by the punk era, where anti-establishment everything was the mantra of the day, Gaultier has made a stand against an industry dominated by one extreme of body size by confronting it head on with the other extreme. Will it change anything? I'll not hold my breath, however, this small gesture from the king of couture has certainly made me smile this evening :)
