Gerald Laing's Pop Art Tribute to Amy Winehouse

The late great Amy Winehouse is being immortalized on canvas by legendary 1960's pop artist Gerald Laing who became intrigued by the trouble star and in tribute created new works showcasing the soul diva in his signature style.

Gerald Laing, famous for his pop art images of Brigitte Bardot and Anna Karina, is showcasing a series of Amy Winehouse paintings and drawings in London.

The renowned 1960s pop artist returned to the form in 2007 after being captivated by Amy Winehouse and her portrayal in the media.

Laing told the BBC he wanted to collate the images as a tribute to the singer.

The collection is on show at Thomas Gibson Fine Art in London and 20% of sales will be donated to the Amy Winehouse rehabilitation project.

All Aboard On The Mick Jagger!

Mick Jagger brought the Caribbean look without the pirates while vacaying in Hawaii. His classic Hawaiian top parred along with his yellow trousers and blue hat (which I am super green with envy) tops an easy sea breezing ensemble perfect for any boat trip!

The video released on what would have been Winehouse's 28th birthday is a beautiful reminder of the natural craft so few people are born with.



We are lucky enough to have one last recorded and captured example of the raw but yet somehow controlled talent that was Amy Winehouse which will now and forever live in the songs of past and future time.

Amy Winehouse Lives On! And Not Just Her Musique...

Fashion writer, Leah Chernikoff, tells us readers that

"After Amy Winehouse’s tragic passing, we wondered about the fate of her collection with Fred Perry. She told Harper’s Bazaar back in October that she and Perry had designed through fall 2012 but when we asked Perry’s PR for comment they would only say that the collection was “on hold until we speak with Amy’s family and management” and would not comment further.



Perry has since spoken with Winehouse’s family and the label has announced plans to release the fall 2012 Amy Winhouse for Fred Perry collection and wholesale the spring 2012 collection, WWD is reporting.



“Amy was passionate and dedicated to the collaboration, and her signature style is clearly stamped across each piece,” Fred Perry said in a statement. Amy’s royalties and fees from the collections will be donated to the soon-to-be-created Amy Winehouse foundation and Fred Perry has said he will make a “seasonal donation” to the Foundation.”



In the same statement, Mitch Winehouse, Amy’s father, said “When Fred Perry came to us to ask what we would like to do with the new collection it was natural to continue…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.”



As celebrity design collabs go, Amy was extremely involved with her ’50s-influenced collection for the British high street retailer. “Amy gave crucial input on proportion, color and fit. The range clearly has Amy’s handwriting,” Perry’s marketing director, Richard Martin, told WWD last March. Take a look at her last collection for Perry here.



We look forward to seeing Winehouse’s posthumous collections for Perry and hope they’re sell-out successes. Will you buy a piece or two?" - Fashionista.com
