Beth Ditto is not one for hiding in the shadows and her collection for plus size fashion retailer Evans hit all of the right spots! Up until the last few years plus size fashion has been fairly uninspired with clothing designed to hide curves instead of celebrating them. Drawstring waists and elasticated waistbands were the order of the day and of course, black was the signature colour. Beths collection reflected her own eccentric, creative persona with sequins, bold colours and shapes that were hard to find on the plus size market. Her Domino dress became a top seller with both standard and plus size fashionistas looking to get their hands on the Gossip singers creations.

Madonna is known for her over the top fashion choices however her collection for H&M did not reflect the conical bra, leotard wearing queen of pops usual style. Sleek tailoring and stylish cuts were prevalent in the Madonna for H&M collection along with monochrome details and figure hugging style. The icons typical style was not completely missing from the collection however, with leather jackets, sequin mini dresses and a classic trench.

Kate Moss may not be a musician but her connection and influence in the British rock and roll scene is undeniable. In 2007 Kate teamed up with British high street favourite Topshop to create a line of clothing based on the models own wardrobe. Bold prints, daring cuts and boho style were the order of the day along with statement pieces that sold out within seconds. When the first collection was launch the model appeared in the window of the flagship Topshop store modelling a breath-taking red dress. She may have hung up her designing shoes but the demand for Kates designs is still high, with many trawling through online auction sites to track own pieces from the collection.
