They said/We said: Amy Winehouse’s dress from her Back to Black album cover is auctioned off for $67,500
Since her death in July, Amy Winehouse has been remembered not only for her music but also for her vintage-inspired style. The singer’s influence was seen in magazines and even on the Chanel runway where Karl Lagerfeld styled his models’ hair in Winehouse’s signature messy beehive. After receiving Winehouse’s parents’ blessing, Fred Perry has posthumously released Winehouse’s collaboration with the brand. Today the red and white dress she wore on the cover of her Back to Black album was auctioned off in London for $67, 500. Other items in the auction included a dress designed by Cristobal Balenciaga for Elizabeth Taylor—which actually sold for less than Winehouse’s dress!—as well as replicas of Princess Diana’s Emanuel wedding dress and Clive Shilton shoes which sold for just over Winehouse’s bid.
