The Winehouse Effect

Mar 17, 2008 @ 11:47am

Suzy Menkes' new video just went up on IHT's website.


In it, Menkes declares, "There's only one icon who mattered in Paris this season, and that was Amy Winehouse."

She takes us on a whirlwind tour of the runways, from the beehives at Dior to the cat-eyes at Commes Des Garçons and attributes fashion's interest in the cracked out singer to Karl Lagerfeld's initial fascination with her retro look.

The best part is when Menkes informs the audience that Winehouse's most popular song is called "Rehab." And that in that song "she sings, "No, No, No," but the fashion world is saying 'Yes, Yes, Yes'."

I wonder if that means the fashion world will also embrace her oh, so sexy impetigo skin disease as well. Nothing like models walking around with patches of their face peeling, crusting, and falling off!! Yumm!
