Amy Winehouse isn't singing anymore (...well, for now)

There are many words that come to mind when viewing a picture of Amy Winehouse. Funnily enough 'Fashion' and 'Designer' are neither of them. Well the world and the people who inhabit it continue to surprise me because 'fashion designer' is exactly the credentials that the winehouse can officially add to her CV. Amy has always maintained a certain style of her own that gave a nod to the 50's and she has now teamed up with Fred Perry to produce a 17 piece collection. It's no secret that she's a huge fan of theirs as she can be regularly seen out and about in a t-shirt of theirs usually paired with a high waisted skirt and a huge belt.

Apparently Amy has also been heavily involved in the designing, Fred Perrys marketing director says “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 range is due to be released in October and if all goes well she'll be working with them for four more seasons.
