A Tribute to Amy Winehouse ~

A star, singer-songwriter and a fashionista - Amy Winehouse was known as much for her distinctive style as for her powerful contralto voice and neo-soul music.

Other artists like Adele, Lady Gaga and Duffy have credited Amy to make their journey " a bit smoother" in United states. Having sounds similar to her.

Her songs "Back to Black", "Rehab", "You know i'm no good" , "Valerie" etc.. gained international success.

Her signature style comprising the 50s-retro rockabilly dresses, dramatic eye make-up and her incredible tattoos inspired many across the world and even made her a muse for renowned designers like Karl Lagerfeld. She served as a inspiration to many around the world, her soulful music and her different dressing style took over alot of people's hearts.

It was these fashionable symbols and hallmarks that made her a symbol of effortless contemporary retro-fashion and an iconic figure forever!

Although her sudden tragic death at the age of 27 shattered her close friends, family and music fans but Amy's numerous fashion moments and her evergreen songs became a remainder of some of her happier times while she performed on-stage for millions of her fans.

Although, Amy isn't with us right now , Her legend will forever remain and she will always be Britain's cultural Icon!

                                                        We Love you Amy xx

Fashion & more...

Fashion is  not about going with the trend. Its about being comfortable and looking gracious in what you wear ! All over the world people follow different patterns of fashion but amongst the few common factors is comfort and the confidence to carry it. It will differ from person to person depending on how an individual looks and what suits one the most. Its all about looking good in your garment. That will create your fashion statement.

"The truly fashionable are beyond fashion."

Fashion in my eyes is definitely a part of all our lives. For me , it is most important to wear a garment that is not worn by anybody else, to have something unique in everything you wear. Lots of colors always works well when put together. there are so many people who would have similar taste depending upon what hit the fashion market, that's why its important to maintain a unique style so that your style doesn't become the next thing you see, everybody in!

"Fashion is what you adopt, when you don't know who you are."

As said by Coco Chanel - " Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live & what is happening."

Fashion is everywhere, all over the world. Different styles, colors scheme's and definitely a huge range of people who wear them. It is truly said " Fashion has to do with the idea". That is the only reason we see it change now & then, because sometime a new idea is appreciated , it is processed into action's and that's what gives us the result of a complete new fashion!

Chanel <3

FASHION IS WHAT YOU GET FOUR TIMES A YEAR, STYLE IS WHAT YOU TAKE OUT OF IT.
