Mitch Winehouse Slams Amy 'Tribute'
The late singer's father has criticised fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier after he used her as inspiration for a catwalk show...
Models at the designer's show at Paris Fasion Week sported Amy Winehouse style massive beehives, winged eyeliner and were smoking fags while walking down the catwalk.
The music of the Back to Black singer - who passed away last summer - was sung by a barbershop quartet in the background.
Her Dad Mitch has reacted angrily at the tribute - labelling it "bad taste" in an interview with The Sun and saying it portrays Amy at her worst.
"We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death," he explained.
He went on to add, "It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life. That's upsetting for her family."
