Jean Paul Gaultier's Amy Winehouse Tribute Backfires

Indie | Friday 27th January 2012 | Osh

 

Jean Paul Gaultier’s collection dedicated to Amy Winehouse backfired when Amy’s father, Mitch, expressed his anger because he wasn’t consulted about the collection before it was showcased. He called the collection of modles dressed in Amy Winehouse's image a “rip-off” and “in poor taste”. He said that seeing her image commercialized was an unexpected wrench. It annoyed him even more that the designer didn’t even make a donation to the Amy Winehouse foundation.

A memorial concert for the singer is in the process of being organised and is rumoured to feature Florence + the Machine, Lily Allen, Mark Ronson and Jessi J.
