Amy Winehouse may be gone, but her style legacy lives on through her collaboration with designer Fred Perry.
Her Autumn/Winter 2011 and Spring/Summer 2012 collections will be available in stores and online at FredPerry.com, with all royalties going toward the forthcoming Amy Winehouse Foundation.
Winehouse, whose death shocked fans last month, had been designing for the British sportswear label since 2010 and had three collections in the works. The decision to posthumously release Winehouse’s latest creations came after her family gave Fred Perry their emotional blessing, the Telegraph reported.
“When Fred Perry came to us to ask what we would like to do with the new collection it was natural to continue,” Amy’s father, Mitch Winehouse, said in a statement. “Amy loved working on both collections and would want them to be made available. All the money we make and the donation that Fred Perry will give will go straight into to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which we are setting up to help children and young people in her name.”
