Karl Lagerfeld: Amy Winehouse is a style icon

Fashion guru reckons singer’s the new Brigitte Bardot

Designer Karl Lagerfeld has revealed that Amy Winehouse is his new muse.

At a London catwalk show last week, the fashion guru's models sported beehives and Karl has compared the jazz diva to 60s legend Brigitte Bardot.

‘She’s a style icon,’ he tells The Sun.

‘She is a beautiful, gifted artist. And I very much like her hairdo. I took it as an inspiration. Because, in fact, it was also Brigitte Bardot’s hairdo in the late 50s and 60s. And now Amy has made it her own style.

'So, when I saw her, I knew it was the right moment. Amy . . . she is the new Brigitte.’

Karl is even planning to launch a line based on 24-year-old Amy’s trademark style.
