Audio, image and video killed the magazine star.

“Perhaps once a decade, an unconventionally beautiful (read: not thin) artist exerts such an irresistible magnetism as to blow the deadbolts off of the fashion world and disrupt production of the beauty myth. In the early 1990s, the comely voluptuousness of celebrity makeup artist Sharon “Mama Makeup” Gault inspired designers to push her from backstage to the catwalk. The immortal look of club icon Leigh Bowery—with his form-malforming, anthropoid Jayne Mansfield-in-sequined-ski- mask garments—made such a deep impression on fashion that his unlikely influence is still occasionally seen in Missy Elliot videos, and on the runways of Gareth Pugh.
Behold the latest Powerball winner in this beauty lotto: Beth Ditto, lead singer of the Gossip, a 5-foot tall, 200-plus pound openly queer oddball from Arkansas, whose Southern charm, soulful wail, brash self-confidence, naked magazine covers, uncompromising politics (her hit song “Standing in the Way of Control” was written in opposition to efforts to ban gay marriage) and robust sense of humor have inspired legions of pan-continental and pansexual fans—including such immortal fashion titans as Karl Lagerfeld and Kate Moss. A besotted Alexander McQueen, inspired to create a number of designs for Ditto, tells BlackBook: “I have three words for Beth: life and soul.””
