I saw these pictures of Amy Winehouse by Hedi Slimane that were released after she died so tragically on Saturday last...
I love how they showcase her unique look, the hair, the eyeliner, the tatoos. She was an icon whose look transferred into the fashion world with ease.
But I also love how these shots seem to capture her fragility...she looks almost vulnerable and dare I say, peaceful.
In reality we know she wasn't peaceful. At all. She was the lost soul with the soul sound. She will be missed, and her feisty, messy tragedy will live on through her music which is playing all around the world these days as we remember her. In her final frame, her voice echoes as she plays herself out...
May you rest in peace dear Amy.
So sad at the loss of this beautiful gifted soul woman. Her father said she was all about Love. That's all that matters. Unfortunately she got tangled in the nets of drugs and alcohol and though she tried she couldn't break free. Perhaps she will now forever be remembered for her song Back to Black but I think she has gone Back to Light, been swept up in the nets of the the great fisher of souls.
ReplyDeleteRest in Peace Amy. You were one of a kind.
