Karl Lagerfeld is definitely a huge fan of Amy Winehouse’s.
The fashion designer dubbed her the new Brigitte Bardot and says she is a “style icon”.
Lagerfeld says Winehouse’s mile-high beehive inspired his models hairstyles at a recent Chanel show in London. He adds that he admires Amy’s cutting edge style.
He told ContactMusic.com,
“She is a style icon. She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot’s hairdo in the late Fifties and Sixties. And now Amy has made it her own style. So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy… she is the new Brigitte.”
I’d say she’s more like the new Courtney Love mixed with a dash of Keith Richards!

She is a wonderfully gifted artist (despite currently doing her best to waste those gifts) but a style icon!? She looks like she fell asleep in a dumpster for a week and has been scribbled on in magic marker by malicious children. Karl Lagerfeld is clearly senile.

Sure, she’s a terrific fashion icon for any drug-wasted skanky-looking anorexic whose hair got attacked by an eggbeater!
Brigitte was the shitte. Amy’s deal has zero to do with style, unless you’re into speedball chic. I figured it out; Lagerfeld must be her dealer!
