According to Grazia, Amy Winehouse, yes she of the famous bee hive hairdo’s, the super scrawny frame, the drug abuse and so on.. has now teemed up with PPQ to create her own fashion line:
“Karl Lagerfeld‘s called her his muse – sending Chanel models down the catwalk with Amy Winehouse-style beehives. Jonathan Kelsey designed the ‘Amy’ shoe in her honour. She’s sung for the fashion crowd at a Fendi party in Paris Fashion Week and practically made the Preen Power dress famous when she rocked it on the red carpet at the Brits. But since Amy Winehouse spiralled into a vicious cycle of drugs and drink, her style status has waned somewhat. Until now. We’ve just discovered the singer is teaming up with PPQ to create her own fashion range. ‘There have been talks with Amy and we are now in the first stages of the project,’ Amy Molyneaux, one half of PPQ design duo,told us . ‘The range will be all about high-end statement pieces, inspired by Amy’s style. For example maybe an amazing piece of jewellery like a bracelet or a dress. It’s going to be distributed online, we are going to be providing all materials and doing the design, but Amy will definitely be involved in the creative process. … this will be a homage to Amy’s look.’ Makes sense considering it’s the label of choice for the young London music/scenester crowd, and hopefully this could be a turning point for Amy – first the fashion, then the music…”
As previously discussed in this blog, some celebrity designers have surprised and delighted with their creations. Notably: Kate Moss, Nicole Ritchie, Victoria Beckham. Amy Winehouse success as a designer still remains to be seen…

I have to admit that I love Amy’s voice and I own her music but I think that she is a poor role model and having her become even more successful and more out there just sends the wrong message to young people. “you can be on drugs, miss your own concerts because you were drinking at a bar but you will still get your own fashion line and get to hang out with the rich and famous”. I think she should have to clean up her act before people like Karl Lagerfeld associate with her.
