Although 2011 bought us some great new designers and celebrity fashions, it was also a sad year for music and style fans around the world as we said a goodbye to the talented Amy Winehouse.
Her soulful voice, statement beehive and tattoos as well as her ballet pumps will always be remembered in the fashion world as will her preppy chic look, which of course has been channelled in her Fred Perry collaboration.
To mark the end of the year and pay tribute to the talented star we’ve put together a gallery of her style.

We’re excited to reveal that our favourite Bajan princess Rihanna is moving further into the fashion world – and she’s now the face of Armani.
The curvy beauty is set to become the face of Emporio Armani underwear and Armani jeans for Autumn/Winter 2011-12, and you can check out the steamy photos for the new campaign right here in the gallery above. How good does Ri-Ri look in these photos?
What do you think of the singer’s new ambassadorship for the brand? Is it a yay or a nay? For us it’s a yay, yay, yay.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony will go ahead with their joint fashion line despite their recent split.
The couple – who announced their separation last week – have signed a deal to create a clothing and accessories line for Kohl’s with Tommy Hilfiger which will launch in September and although their designs were set to be a collaborative effort, Jennifer will now work on the women’s collection while Marc will work on the menswear.
A spokesperson told WWD: “The Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony brands have always been positioned as two separate, distinctive collections that offer high-quality contemporary style for men and women, and we look forward to a successful September launch.”
Rick Darling, of LF USA, which sub-licenses the singers’ brands to Kohl’s, added: “We have two separate agreements with Jennifer and Marc and always intended to have separate lines. [Their split] doesn’t impact the agreements in any way.”
Although Jennifer’s first fashion collaboration Sweetface with Tommy’s brother Andy Hilfiger was a failure, he believes this will be a success because the singer has more control.
Tommy said: “The difference this time around is that Jennifer is fully engaged with a company that is professionally staffed to really develop anything she wants, from towels to knee-high suede boots. Literally, her wish is their command.”

Kate Hudson is collaborating with Chrome Hearts on a jewellery line.
The ‘A Little Bit Of Heaven’ actress is the first actress to partner with the company on a range, which will be called CH + KH and sees Kate team with Chrome Hearts founders and close friends, husband and wife tram Richard and Laurie Lynn Stark.
According to WWD, the collection – a one-off set for now – will be 18 and 22 carat gold bohemian pieces set with white diamonds, fresh water pearls and aquamarine, green tourmaline, peridot and citrine gemstones and will launch in late summer in selected Chrome Hearts stores.
Kate is currently expecting her first child with boyfriend, Muse rocker Matt Bellamy, and recently said although she does not know the sex of the baby, she thinks they will have a girl after doing a “pendulum test”.
Kate – who also has a seven-year-old son, Ryder, from her marriage to Chris Robinson – said: “So here’s the pendulum test. You take a piece of hair and you take a ring, and you string it through – this is very witchy of me!
“And then what you do is you hold it over your stomach. And then if it moves in a circle, it’s a girl and a boy goes back and forth.”

Marchesa's sketch for their planned revamp of the legendary "Bunny Girl" costume
An unlikely marriage of two worlds is about to happen as luxury fashion house Marchesa, home to a million frills and jewels fit for a fashion princess, reveals their sketch of a one-off design of the iconic 70′s playboy bunny costume in honour of the new opening of a Playboy Club in London.
Designers Georgia Chapman and and Keren Craig are reinventing the classic bunny-girl one piece, but not as we know it – expect ruffles, jewels and (we hope) a solid-gold tail. (As I said – we hope.)
Georgia Chapman said of the label’s design for the Playboy franchise, “We’ve taken our inspiration from the original costume but added Marchesa’s signature details, such as hand draping and embroidery, while staying true to the Playboy Bunny’s classic corset silhouette. The result is a modern, yet feminine interpretation of this legendary look.”
Playboy was a suave gentleman’s lifestyle magazine back in the day (with some pretty nude bunnies thrown in for good measure) but in recent years the whole thing has become a bit, well, seedy. Can a magical sprinkling of fashion dust change the face of Playboy again? Forget the cheap pink satin and white fluffy mules of yesteryear – Hef’s girls are about to get a luxury makeover. We’re a little bit jealous, actually.

One of Christian Louboutin's sketches for the collaboration
Hold on to your Phillip Treacy hats, designer lovers, because there’s an exciting new collaboration on the horizon: queen of the knitted jumper, Bella Freud, is hooking up with the daddy of footwear, Christian Louboutin, to create a range of fetish-inspired knitwear. Freud will incorporate Louboutin’s shoe sketches into the designs, resulting in what we hope is going to be a cool and exciting dream collaboration.
There couldn’t be a better shoe designer for Bella to choose for the project, as Christian Louboutin is literally the daddy of high heels. Favoured by the young and old alike, the socialites and the high-profile actresses, a pair of Louboutins is standard issue in Fashion 101.
Freud said of the legendary footwear designer, who she has known for over twenty years: “”I have often admired his drawings and I wanted to use some to put on my knitwear. I love the way a drawing comes to life when it is reinterpreted in another medium. On a knit it you get the sense of someone having actually drawn it, rather than it being a computer generated image.” We really can’t wait until this range is up for grabs in mid July.
Keep your eyes peeled for this luxe collection when it finally hits the shops: we predict there will be a scrum.

Exciting news as Gap unveil the fruits of their most recent collaboration with design geniuse Pierre Hardy; one perfect pair of black suede and leather shoe boots. Well, sometimes simplicity is best. The shoes won’t hit stores in the US until the 28th of October at the slightly un-Gap price of $195, but we can forgive them – it is a beautiful shoe, after all.
Gap’s had a rough time of it these past few weeks; it’s taken a cutting verbal beating from the internet and worldwide fashion-lovers for its’ attempt to ditch their iconic logo for a newer, spiffier one (turns out that the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is an important lesson to learn in fashion), so this collaboration could be exactly what the brand needs to get back into their customers’ good books. And we’ll certainly be helping out – by fighting tooth and nail to get a pair when they become available to buy in the UK.

Kate Moss’ line for British high street store Topshop has been much-loved since it was first launched in 2007, and has been a firm favourite ever since. So if you’re a Topshop lover and a fan of Miss Moss’ work you were probably pretty flabbergasted to hear rumours that the store’s owner, Sir Phillip Green, has decided to drop Kate with the plan of letting his own daughter, Chloe Green, have a go instead. A million London girls weep. But all is not lost – Chloe herself has said in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph that she is planning to work with Kate in the future.
Chloe said of the planned collaboration: “I saw Kate a few days ago and we talked about doing something together in the spring, collaborating on a collection. She’s really into vintage and I love clothes that are a bit modern, so I think it will be an interesting mix.” Exciting stuff.
So dry your eyes, girls, and don’t stress. Kate will be back..

Following the internet leak of the Anna Sui for Target lookbook last month, Target execs have been quick to backpedal on any suggestion that the range has been inspired by Gossip Girl.
“One of Target’s top executives got nervous about being that closely associated with the show, given the [debauchery] its characters get into,” a source told the New York Daily News.

Uh-huh it’s true… Miley Cyrus and Max Azria have inked a deal with Wal-Mart to create a line for juniors. Can you just hear the dollar signs ringing already?
The range is to be called “Miley Cyrus and Max Azria” (some originality maybe?) and will include tops, pants, graphic T-shirts and shoes, starting from $20. It will go on sale at Wal-Mart outlets and via Walmart.com from August this year.
I guess we should have known something was up when Miley starting wearing grown-up wear by Azria. For example, that sparkly minidress Hervé Léger dress she wore to the London premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie. Look out Olsens!

It is cool to love khaki – take it from Alexander Wang, Vena Cava, and Albertus Swanepoel. This year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalists have joined forces with Gap to bring you their versions of the classic khaki, instead of the usual white shirts. These range from dresses to hats to jackets.
