Beth Ditto Slams Size Zero Models

Beth Ditto wants the fashion industry to change its labelling format so that there is no longer a ‘size zero.’

The Gossip singer hopes that by removing the term women will feel less pressured to look like catwalk models.

She told Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac: "It’s so obvious but so deep about our culture and what (it) says about women and their worth in their world (that) to be a size zero... is your ultimate goal.

"The biggest thing in your world is to be a nothing. That is so intense… how about getting rid of zero at all and putting a number onto it instead, even if it’s a small number?"

Ditto has always been publicly outspoken with regards to physical appearance. Earlier this year she turned town an invitation to perform for the clothing store, Topshop, because they didn’t make clothes for the larger woman.
