re: does karl have amy winehouse on the mind?

Turns out the answer is yes. A few days ago I was watching Canada's Fashion Television, and briefly mentioned his inspirations for his Pre-Fall 2008 show. Along with Miss Amy, his inspirations were also said to be London (in contrast to last year's focus of Paris) and the men that inspired Coco Chanel herself. So I guess that explains that.

In fact, it wasn't just Karl who was inspired by Amy's style. In February 2008's edition of Vogue Paris, there was an entire spread dedicated to Amy Winehouse.

Model Isabeli Fontana looks a bit too unnatural with that cig between her fingers to be playing Amy. The entire shoot looked a bit forced.

Well, there you go, not much else to say about it.
