It’s official. Amy Winehouse is designing a fashion line.
According to WWD, the queen of the beehive, heavy eyeliner and erm, drinking, is teaming up with sports brand Fred Perry to create a capsule collection of 17 items including skirts, capri pants and two piece suits, not forgetting Fred Perry’s statement polo shirts.
Although the sketches suggest Amy has predominantly gone Back to black (and white), we’ve also spotted a few Pringle style golfing design frocks and jumpers in there too in pink.
Richard Martin, Fred Perry’s marketing director, said: “Amy has been wearing Fred Perry for years, so we were aware she was a genuine fan of the brand.
“We had three major design meetings where she was closely involved in product style selection and the application of fabric, color and styling details. Amy gave crucial input on proportion, color and fit. The range clearly has Amy’s handwriting.”
The first part of the collection will hit shops in October this year and we really hope for Amy’s sake it’s a success.
