Well, I guess if one of the “Jersey Shore” kids can do it, it was only a matter of time before Amy Winehouse got a shot at designing a clothing line. But, not just any clothing line! No, this is a line of black and pink stuff created with the British label Fred Perry. Why black and pink? Who knows. But, then again, why Amy Winehouse? The world throws us curve balls all the time. This one just happens to be covered in crack.
Seriously, this is the ultimate in gimmicks to sell a couple shirts. Asking Amy Winehouse to design a clothing line is like asking Tiger Woods to write a book on how to be a faithful husband. The woman can barely keep herself alive, does she really need another job to distract her from trying to breathe in and out without either shooting up and/or drinking herself to death? Usually, designers want to pair with a style icon in order to sell clothes. But Amy Winehouse is more often than not photographed half-naked and coked-up. Would any sane woman ask the crack fiend on the corner to design a dress? No. So, again, why Amy Winehouse?
I’m not sure why Fred Perry thought it would be a good idea to partner with the troubled singer. Unless the clothes will feature hidden compartments for the concealment of illegal substances and will be marketed to the Skid Row set, I see no point to this venture. This really blows my mind. Next up, a line of Amy Winehouse dentures.
