Jean Paul Gaultier pays homage to Amy Winehouse
Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 couture collection has sparked huge debate amongst the fashion community. His entire runway show featured Amy Winehouse lookalikes, complete with beehive hair, black eyeliner and the occasional cigarette. As the models strutted down the Paris runway, the late singer’s music played in the background.
Amy’s father Mitch was not too impressed, saying ‘We’re proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste.’ What do you think? Is this a bit disrespectful, so soon after her death?

I think it’s awesome! Amy would’ve been proud to be celebrated in this fashion. She unashamedly & openly lived her life to the fullest, no matter how harmful it was to her.
This was a beautiful way t pay respect to the artist. Very touching actually. Love the colour use… x
