This couture season, Jean Paul Gaultier is inspired by late great Amy Winehouse. The Jean Paul Gaultier fashion team have delved into Amy’s love for the 1950s which have influenced the collection. The pieces include Amy’s statement looks: the beehive hair, flicked eye liner and pencil skirts. The range was said to be a ‘tribute’ to the singer who died from alcohol poisoning last July. The names for the different looks were named: “Brit Award”, “Victoria’s Secret In My Bag” and “Love Is a Losing Game”;  all of her which are elements of her music and awards career.
The collection features Jean Paul Gaultier’s own signature pieces, figure sculpting dresses, tight corsets, famous trench coats and the pin stripe suit. Jean Paul Gaultier combines the looks perfectly, mixing couture with a British music and fashion icon.
Amy Winehouse was most famous for her jazz and soul style music. Her album Back to Black became the UK’s bestselling album so far of the 21st century, sales rocketed after her death.
I adore the range . The collection captures her style and I think it’s a beautiful reminder of Amy.
Her favourite album for me is Frank, a well sang 13 track album. Each song individual, if you like any soul or jazz music then it’s for you.
