Last night I received a text message from my friend, containing the news that Amy Winehouse is deceased. I could not believe what I was reading, I was in shock. In shock because we lost a unique soulful voice..
"A voice that really grabs you and takes you into her story, her joy, her pain, her experience from life by revealing her soul.."
She was a great inspiration for many people and also for the fashion industry. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld really loved her fifties style, and her retro (beehive) hairdo. In his pre-fall 2008 fashion show, his models had the same hairdo as Amy.
"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 '50 and '60. And now Amy has made it her own style. So when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy Winehouse is the new Brigitte Bordot.."
- Said by Karl Lagerfeld
"Find the differences" (Amy Winehouse and Brigitte Bordot)
The fashion label Fred Perry was also inspired by Amy's style, so they did a colloboration with her. I really love the fashion illustration below, from the collection.
It's nice to know that Amy Winehouse will always life trough her music
and the people she inpsired because
