Mitch Winehouse Slams John Paul’s Gaultier’s latest fashion show
Mitch Winehouse condemned the show “in bad taste” after models were dressed in the star’s trademark look. “We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six month anniversary of Amy’s death. To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on.”
“We’re proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste,” he added.
interesting post on Amy Winehouse. She had such an original look, I loved to see what she was wearing, and I am torn about Gaultier’s obvious borrowing of Amy’s recognizable personal style. On the one hand imitation is flattery, and it is cool to see the chain of influence cycling between music, fashion, film etc, but I wonder if this is either too soon, or too late. Is it a nice tribute to an influential musician, or is it another exploitative capitalization on an artist’s death? Interesting question to ponder.
Anyways, thanks for stopping by my blog, and I’ve enjoyed my visit here. I’ll check back in again soon!
Gaultier’s use of Amy’s iconic image isn’t necessarily a bad thing in itself. It was obviously intended as a tribute to the artist. The fact that it has touched some still raw emotions within Amy’s close family could be because he perhaps attempted to do this too soon, but I do think it’s going a little too far to accuse the house of capitalising on the artist’s death?? Perhaps insensitive, but certainly not exploitative… Good question!
Very true! Everyone has different ways of dealing with death, I’m sure it was a genuine tribute !
