As we mentioned earlier this week, the theme of Jean Paul Gaultier‘s fashion show featured an homage to Amy Winehouse with many of the models wearing beehive wigs, heavy eyeliner, a beauty mark, and even smoking a cigg.
And while many considered this to be a nice tribute, others are thinking Gaultier did it to simply profit from her image.
Amy├óΓé¼Γäós dad Mitch took to Twitter the day after the show and stated, “We don’t support the Jean Paul Galtier collection. It’s in bad taste. Mitch”
And now, one of Amy’s friend Kelly Osbourne is speaking out as well, also showing her displeasure. Reveals Kelly on her Twitter:
@JPGaultier 🙁
to be honest and this is just ‘my’ opinion she would be fucking pissed. how ever the collection is wonderful and i love it!
exploitation = evil
Although @JPGaultier was paying homage to my dear friend & icon to the world i found it to be lucratively selfish and distasteful!
they had 3 men singing rehab & models walking in death vials,its barley been 6 months since her passing!Wrong
its not ugly i <3 the collection it was just distastefully executed! its just 2 soon he turned his obsession into attention
What do U think of the fashion show? Was it purely for profit or a nice homage?
