The fashion briefing: Amy Winehouse
Question of the week: Will fashion help Amy turn her life around?
Amy Winehouse is rumoured to be designing a range of “high-end statement pieces” for young London’s favourite label, PPQ. Amy Molyneaux, co-founder of the label, said, “This will be an homage to Amy’s look.” Crikey, which one? We’re hoping not the tangled beehive and bloodied ballet slippers.
