Amy Winehouse

Madonna, Gwen Stefani, Beth Ditto and Lily Allen have all done it, with varying degrees of success: now Giant Hairstacks is turning fashion designer with a range for Mod-about-town label, Fred Perry, scheduled for autumn delivery. Smart move! The way things were going, could she necessarily rely on income from the night job? Sketches reveal Amy's mostly black and pink preppy capsule collection - all her own work, obviously - respect the brand’s heritage while reflecting her new healthy-living kick. But given past deportment, hopefully the duds will be sturdy enough to withstand fag burns and a good ruck yet still look fresh after a lost weekend rolling around Camden’s skanky gutters. Past lyrics suggested Amy as seam queen was a no-brainer: ‘They tried to make me sew in rehab but I said no! no! no!’ Whatever caused the volte-face, let's hope a stitch in time really does save Wine’.
