But frankly, we don’t buy it yet, because:
1. Remember that “fashion and makeup” line that was announced about a year ago, then never mentioned again?
2. Remember when Roberto Cavalli hired her on as a sort of brand ambassador, and she was supposed to show up to events wearing Cavalli?
Yeah, we remember, too. Plus, Amy for argyle sweaters and polo tees? Um…

Actually, it makes a lot of sense – Fred Perry was one of the brands sought out by the Mod/Soul crowd in the ’60′s (and is still popular with that group today), which fits perfectly with Winehouse’s retro look and sound.

i would love to see her in some ads this year. shes looking alot better then ’08 so far.

I think it makes sense too. In addition to what commenter 3 said, Fred Perry has that chav/street fashion link, which I think works with her image.

Exactly what commenter 3 said. And she’s worn fred perry quite a bit – I remember seeing her in a black polo shirt with white trim.

I’m going to go with the Um……

she is constantly snapped in preppy poloshirts (specifically fred perry), for a while they were her stapple garment. So you may wish to take away your ummmmmm….
