Amy Winehouse Fashion Line Hits Paris

Amy Winehouse’s spirit lives on in so many ways

Even postmortem, Amy Winehouse has been more than just an inspiration in music; she has made a huge impression in fashion as well.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s models took charge of Paris runways Wednesday to show off a collection inspired by the late British blues icon, who died last summer at the age of 27. The event was chock full of liquid eyeliner, black veils, colorful hair, and tough-looking cigarette-smoking babes, all while WInehouse’s music played in the background.

According to the British edition of the Week (via SPIN), fashion commentators are  50/50 with the new line, some saying they love it and some hating it.

After seeing a video of some of the pieces, I would have to say I’m on the “I like” side of this debate. The first and third dresses are my favorite of the bunch. I think the whole collection gives off a Winehouse vibe, even though there’s a few items in there I don’t see as easily ‘wearable’, but every haute-couture show seems to have at least a few of those.

What a fitting tribute.
