Jean Paul Gaultier pays tribute to Amy Winehouse

Fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has paid tribute to the late singer Amy Winehouse.

He sent models in his couture show on 25 January down the catwalk to an Amy Winehouse soundtrack.

They also sported the 'Love is a Losing Game' singer's signature beehive hairstyle and 50s-inspired outfits.

Pencil skirts and corset dresses were prevalent at the catwalk show, while one model even sported a cigarette.

Polka dots and nipped-in waists were also seen on the runway in tribute to the singer,  who was found dead at her Camden home on 23 July 2011.

The French designer said: "What she stands for above all, is uniqueness. Both in music and the way she dressed, she mixed a great many influences to create her style," quoted The Times of India.

Since her death from alcohol poisoning, Winehouse's legacy has lived on as her father Mitch has set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to support vulnerable youngsters.

Her posthumously-released album 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures' went straight to number one.
