Amy, Amy, Amy

Last week on Bravo's Project Runway, Ricky won the Levi's denim challenge with the dress pictured above. Now, I could get into a rant about my distaste for Ricky (how the hell is he still in the game is beyond me), but I'll refrain because this post is not about that, instead it's about his styling choices for his model, which judge Michael Kors likened to none other than Amy Winehouse.

"I love Amy Winehouse and honestly, you must, too," Kors said to Ricky, whose model donned, what else, a bee-hive pomp and black cat-eye makeup.

Even though Amy's usually blasted by the media (whether it be about her drug problems, her turbulent marriage, or her fashion choices), designers seem to be keen on her. And Kors is not the only designer who "loves" her.

German-born designer, Karl Lagerfeld drew inspiration from Ms. Winehouse's look for Chanel's pre-fall Maison d'Art show in London.









At a little more than two minutes into the clip (above) Lagerfeld himself appears and raves about Amy as his muse. Even going as far as to compare her to 1950s/60s sex kitten Brigitte Bardot.

Lagerfeld goes on to describe Amy as, "the greatest talent coming out of England... for the moment."

But if do you plan on copying Amy, at least refrain from the crack pipe.
