House of Gine

i know we make fun of 'the gine', aka emo ginehouse, aka amy winehouse, but i could be into her having her own clothing line. On a day to day basis, she does look like a hobo wearing a dead raccoon on her head, but i think when she dresses up for live performances and the like she looks pretty nice, from a style perspective. She always wears betsey johnson and fred perry, who are two of my fav designers ever, and she is into the whole rockabilly/60's/ pin-up vibe which i am into times ten. So i think if she gets the right people to work on this with her it could come out with some very desirable pieces. Not that her style is entirely a niche market, but i am supportive of this type of clothing being more avaible and having a larger selection to choose from. Of course, she could completely fuck it up and make a lot of horrible shit that only 10 year old white trash girls will want to wear and they will sell at ASDA (the english wal-mart), or make rockabilly style completely common place and played out, which would ruin my life. I think her best option is to do something a little down market from what chloe sevigny did for opening ceremony. It's a small collection where every piece is special and not available at every store on the street. Plus it's done through a very respectable clothing line, so the pieces are well made. Fred Perry does collaborations with other designers all the time, so i think it would be the perfect place to start a collection. Amy, don't fuck this up
