Fred Perry Will Release Amy Winehouse Collection

The British fashion label Fred Perry has decided to release the next collection from the Amy Winehouse collection.

“After much consideration and with the blessing of Amy’s family”, the brand announced this morning. Winehouse’s royalties and fees from both collections will be donated to the soon-to-be-established Amy Winehouse Foundation. Fred Perry will also make a seasonal donation to the Foundation.”

All the money we make and the donation that Fred Perry will give will go straight into to the Amy Winehouse Foundation which we are setting up to help children and young people in her name.”
