Jean Paul Gautier Honors Amy Winehouse at Paris Fashion Week
Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier was intending to honor the late Amy Winehouse by designing his collection around her iconic style, but instead received poor reviews from her family and critics, too.
“The family was upset to see those pictures,” Mitch Winehouse told reporters of seeing the photos of the show.“We’re still grieving for her loss, and we’ve had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy’s death.

“It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorizes some of the more upsetting times in her life,” he said.
Yet, after the show on Wednesday, Gaultier stood by his decision to send the look-a-likes down the runway. “She was an icon of fashion and truly, the sense of how she mixed the clothes — it was great. It is very joyous.”
I don’t see anything wrong with the look-a-likes, but I can see where it would upset the family.
