Amy Winehouse's Dad And Kelly Osbourne Against Jean Paul Gaultier !
But Amy's father, Mitch Winehouse, is quite frustrated that his daughter's image is being exploited to sell clothes.
"We don't support the Jean Paul Galtier [sic] collection. It's in bad taste," the elder Winehouse tweeted.
"The family was upset to see those pictures. They were a total shock," he also told The Sun. "We're still grieving for her loss, and we've had a difficult week with the six-month anniversary of Amy's death."
Amy's dad felt it was inappropriate to try and cash in on his daughter's legacy. "To see her image lifted wholesale to sell clothes was a wrench we were not expecting or consulted on…We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste."
Mitch said the looks in Gaultier's show portrayed "a view of Amy when she was not at her best, and [glamorized] some of the more upsetting times in her life."
Kelly Osbourne, a close friend of the "Rehab" singer, agreed. "Although @JPGaultier was paying homage to my friend & icon to the world, I found it to be lucratively selfish and distasteful," she tweeted. "Exploitation=evil."
