Amy Winehouse Designs Collection for Fred Perry
- Posted on Mar 12th 2010 7:00AM by Chris Mugan
Confirmed Fred Perry fan Amy Winehouse has helped create a 17-piece women's line for the brand to be released in the autumn.Regularly seen herself in the firm's iconic polo shirts, the singer has committed to design four collections for them. Winehouse's first range features jumper dresses and Harrington jackets alongside her take on the trademark polo shirt.
Winehouse is only the latest female artist to ink such a deal with a clothing company. H&M put out a Madonna clothing range to a mixed reception, while Lily Allen created a collection for New Look. Gossip's Beth Ditto has worked with plus-sized women's wear chain Evans. Fred Perry, meanwhile, have in the past worked with male stars, including Paul Weller, the Specials' Terry Hasll and Damon Albarn.
John Flynn, managing director of Fred Perry, expressed excitement that Winehouse was working with his firm. "We have had a great relationship with her over the years as she has been a loyal fan and supporter," he said. A Fred Perry spokesman added that the singer had been "very involved" in the designs that focus mainly on pink and black. "It's Amy all over -- sharp, clever, sexy, lots of attitude – but stays true to the Perry aesthetic and unrivalled heritage."

Sad to see what being a junkie will do to a person.
Oh Dear God NO!!! I can't bear to look at Amy in her choice of clothes which would look better on a hanger or burning in a trash barrel! Now she will design this sort of yuck for others??? What idiot thought this one up? There is NOTHING stylist about her! NOTHING!! Unless of course you think the most freakish of nature is stylish!! She is just plain GROSS!! Give me a break!

Obviously she needs help. Hopefully she has gotten it and is trying to turn her life around. She has talent and it is a shame that her downward spiral shortened her music career. Time will tell. But really being so judemental is really sad. I guess bashing others makes you feel better about yourselves? You must all be so damn perfect! tsk, tsk... :-(

I'm not talking about self help bars & drugs. Everyone has made mistakes, but over & over & over again, in & out, in & out. It's hard for some people to take this seriously, I hope it works out for her, I don't wish anyone bad, but she really needs want to do this, finally take something seriously! Pretty soon, no one will give her a chance.

My sarcasim here today was just to prove that very point. as soon as I had anything positive to say about the girl, as crazy as it may have been, I was attacked by what seemed like a pack of Wild Amy Hating Dogs... I hate to say it, but, it's Neo-Christianity.. At it's best! The Bit dog barks first.. Thou shall not judge.. love thy neighbor as you love yourself.. Forgiveness, these are all traits taught in today's churches but so many people give them such a bad name(our churches) by setting such bad examples.. Afterwards they whine when people don't wanna be a part of their KKK Like organizations.. Amy definitely deserves drug rehab as much as anyone... She also deserves to make as much money as she can by using her popularity.. Look at Paris Hilton.. Her job is being Paris Hilton, which by the way has led to a massive fortune of her own right.. Lots of people jump up & down to forgive the likes of people like Ted Haggard, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker & all the Catholic Priests that have raped countless little boys... Let one girl have a hit song, a nice career & I can't think of one time she's ever denied her issues.. I believe she's even written about them.. Next thing ya know, she's jumped on like a frail kitty against a pack of wild Pit Bulls.. I Do love Amy.. She's a human being & deserves my love even as you people worship the dark side of everything.. Leave the girl alone.. Who gives a crap what she does.. It doesn't affect you one bit. The only thing most people are interested in is the fact that she's had a really bumpy past.. Who cares.. She's not a part of your family & you're certainly not working for her.. Even though I don't frequent Bars, If I did & she took my drink I'd still love her & forgive her.. Leave the girl alone.. Clean up your own house.. She doesn't live in it & as you say, she can't even enter the USA so why even bother worrying... ~~Licks~~
I haven't seen/ heard much of her in quite a while. I kinda thought maybe she was dead. I KNOW that's bad to say, but that's what I thought.

Her music...bleh , and this new clothing line is a sign of a struggling. yes she has a drug and booze problem. Should we blame her for it? F*CK ya! You gona pity every crackhead and drug addict out there because they're too f*cked in the head to realize her im screwin my life over. Its called natural selection, sadly this b*tch is influencing others lives in which makes her a dumb twat who needs to vanish off the earth
