Beth Ditto has been in the news a lot recently as she does the rounds of interviews on radio and TV in the UK.

She intends the new collection of clothes to be basic to ensure its affordability, not quirky like the clothes we normally see her wearing. Whist Beth Ditto enjoyed collaborating with Evans on her punk inspired collections, she was not happy with the lack of input she had or the fact the cloths were made in India.
