Her music career might be up in the air, but Amy Winehouse is launching a
clothing collection with Fred Perry — a brand sometimesociated with
skinheads.
Amy is a "loyal fan" of classic Fred Perry stuff, in keeping with her retro/mod
dancehall/ska vibe, and the collection mostly consists of pieces in black and
pink — twinsets, pencil skirts, capri pants, a mini bowling dress and, of
course, polo shirts.
Fred Perry was a tennis and table-tennis champ in the '30s, but at some point,
the Fred Perry logo — a white wreath — became a favorite with skinheads, both
traditional (non-racist) and racist. While there are white wreaths on some
vintage Nazi memorabilia, the Fred Perry logo is actually a laurel, honoring
Perry's Wimbeldon and Davis Cup wins.
In any case, the sketches of Amy's clothes look really cute. Now if she would
just make music.
