Amy Winehouse's Fred Perry Collections To Be Released

After several weeks of speculation, Fred Perry announced that it plans to release the final pair of collections -- for fall 2011 and summer 2012 -- designed by Amy Winehouse, Women's Wear Daily reports.

According to the fashion newspaper, Fred Perry said: "Amy was passionate and dedicated to the collaboration, and her signature style is clearly stamped across each piece. Amy's royalties and fees from both collections will be donated to the soon-to-be-established Amy Winehouse Foundation. Fred Perry will also make a seasonal donation to the Foundation."

Winehouse's father Mitch released a similar statement. As printed in the Telegraph: "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."

It's true that Amy enjoyed putting it all together. An excerpt from a Harper's Bazaar interview with the songstress back in October:

Tell me about the Fred Perry project. It seems like you really knew what you wanted from it.

"Ve'y much so. Ve'y much so. And that's been the whole thing. We've pretty much done like up to autumn/winter 2012, and I'm like, 'Have we?' Yeah!"

It was easy?

"Mmm-hmmm. Yeah, yeah, it was not hard at all, not hard at all, because, like [....] I knew exactly what I wanted. And I love Fred Perry so much. I was honored that they would even, like, 'Do you want to come and do a line?' Me? Like, me?" She stabs a finger into her chest. "Yeah!" she adds.

You can still shop Amy's most recent collection at FredPerry.com.

I'm glad theyve decided to donate her profits to her soon-to-be charity. Unlike iTunes just loves to exploit tragedy for all profit..

Album sales explode. Clothing line released. Autopsy "inconclusive".

I'm no conspiracy nut, but if she's still alive she's certainly raking it in.

I still do and even more now. Her music takes on even more importance. None of her peers in Britain could touch her in my view. Personal demons aside (many before her suffered the same problems) people who talk smack about her don't have the quantity of talent in their entire miserable lives as she had in her pinky toe. It is a tragedy that we won't experience more of it.
