Fred Perry Comes Out with First Posthumous Amy Winehouse Collection

Fans of Amy Winehouse who, in the aftermath of her death at 27, feared this would be the end of all things Amy, can now breathe easy. Fred Perry has just released the first posthumous collection she helped design.

What’s even better, all proceeds from the sale of the new items will go straight to charity, a spokesperson for the company says for the Daily Mail.

The Winehouse family was completely on board with going forward with the release of the new collection, which means the other two that the late singer worked on before her death will also be seeing the light of day sooner or later.

“After much consideration and with the blessing of Amy’s family we have decided to release the aw11 Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry collection,” a spokesperson for Fred Perry says.

“Amy was passionate and dedicated to the collaboration and her signature style is clearly stamped across each piece,” the rep adds.

Indeed, the latest items are also molded after the outfits that Amy used to love so much: tight shirts, pencil skirts, skinny black jeans and, most importantly, retro patterns and cuts.

Fred Perry will not profit from this collection because it will donate all the money made off it to the charity that Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, will start at the London home she was found dead in.

“In such circumstances the usual royalties and feels from the collection will be donated to the soon to be established Amy Winehouse foundation,” the rep says.

As we also informed you some time ago, shortly after Amy’s death, word got out that she’d completed at least another 3 collections for Fred Perry but the company didn’t want to put them out without the family’s consent.

Amy Winehouse was found dead in her apartment in Camden, London on July 23. Cause of death will be determined by toxicology results. The multi-Grammy winning singer led a very troubled and short life.
