Amy Winehouse to Design for Fred Perry?

Rumor has it Amy Winehouse will be the next celebrity tapped to design a clothing line for a major retailer. The brand in question: Fred Perry. While no official word on what form the collaboration will take has been released by either party, Winehouse was overheard “during a festive holiday” (which I’ll assume translates to holiday party) saying “she is currently in negotiations with [the] iconic British label,” says Vogue UK. Considering the tabloid fixture recently put plans for her second album on hold, the move to designing doesn't seem so far-fetched.

While such a collaboration would no doubt be a bona fide coup for Fred Perry with regard to the inevitable press storm, I can’t begin to imagine what a Winehouse-designed line would look like. And that’s not a good sign. Given the fact that the immensely talented and equally troubled singer’s style is best described as ballet slippers, bare midriff (that is, if she’s wearing any clothes at all), and beehive, I wouldn’t exactly dub her a fashion icon. But then again, Winehouse never ceases to surprise, so perhaps she’ll throw us a curveball rather than snorting another eightball.
