Just over a year ago rumors swirled that tabloid fixture and trainwreck Amy Winehouse was launching a clothing line. She was overhead blabbing about a collaboration with Fred Perry at a few holiday parties, but in the months following no official word was released, consigning the chatter to typical Winehouse psychobabble. Well, it turns out Winehouse is indeed designing clothes for Perry, and Women's Wear Daily has already scored images. Set to hit stores in October, the line is predominantly pink and black and includes "a girlish twinset; slim, thigh-skimming pencil skirts; capri pants, a mini bowling dress, and Fred Perry’s signature polo shirts ('collars are most definitely raised,' the press release effused)," says WWD.
Don't expect any popped collars or pink argyle over at Sarah Jessica Parker's premiere collection for Halston's Heritage line. Rather, the lower-priced line (sister to Marios Schwab's collection for Halston proper), SJP's collection "is sticking with a more literal interpretation of Halston's 1970s style, so there is a lot of draped jersey and more than one jumpsuit," says Racked NY. Dresses (just debuted at Net-A-Porter) fall in the $350-500 range, which is by no means unattainable for the hordes of Sex and the City fans looking to drop dollars on anything SJP- or Halston-related. After all, it's a known fact that more than one SJP/Halston Heritage frock found its way onto the SATC2 set. And with handbags priced at $195 to $420, all this affordable designer garb is bound to be a sizable boost for the Weinstein-backed brand which has suffered both in terms of identity and financial stability in recent seasons.
