Hailed fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has upset the father of the late Amy Winehouse with his latest runway show. This past Wednesday at the Paris Haute Couture Week, Gaultier’s latest line contained Amy inspired outfits and looks inspired by Winehouse’s beehive, heavy eyeliner and ever-present cigarettes. Winehouse’s father and family feel Amy’s image is being represented when she wasn’t at her best.
“We’re proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste,” he added.
“It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life. That’s upsetting for her family.”
“No one asked us for permission or offered to make a donation to the foundation.” (via Telegraph)
Kanye West named dropped the designer on “Last Call”
“My money was thinner than Sean Paul’s goatee hair/ Now Jean Paul Gaultier cologne fill the air”
