We've been following Amy Winehouse's Fred Perry collection since 2010, and we're sosososo sad that Amy's untimely passing means the end of an iconic era. The Fred Perry x Amy Winehouse collab, known for perfectly mixing a punky rockabilly edge with preppy sportswear, was rumored to release a few posthumous collections, but it looks like this will be the final chance to buy Ms. Winehouse's designs. Fred Perry launched a sampling of Amy's final spring 2012 collection yesterday (the rest of the collection will be released at a later date) to coincide with Amy's third and final album release Lioness: Hidden Treasures. The collection references "Amy's love of '50s American and art deco Miami," according to the press release and will feature prints "scattered with Cadillacs, jukeboxes and cat's-eye sunglasses in a palette of pink mist, pale blue and black." So let's take a peek at some of the pieces, shall we?
Looks from the final collection.

On the left is by far our FAVORITE look from the 14-piece spring collection—Amy's pastel "Jukebox" comic strip design on a cropped tie-up blouse is so springy AND retro-chic that we could definitely see ourselves pairing this with some super high-waisted shorts and platforms. On the right is the perfect catch-all light pink cropped jacket that could be paired with skinny jeans, a floral skirt, or even a cute printed romper. Other looks from her line include a black and blue V-neck gingham sweater, a lightweight pink cardigan, and the ultimate '50s staple—a bowler bag. Any profits made from the collection will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which helps support young people with health, disability, financial, or addiction issues.
