Stylist and friend Naomi Parry and Amy Winehouse leaving the Diner Bar in Camden after a night out. Fortunately for me, the show was pre-recorded. She shimmied about a bit while rearranging her bosom like an absolute pro. The audience got a little more than they or Paul Weller, who she was duetting with, had bargained for, to the horror of her team and to my intense dismay. I had a slightly bumpy start in the role at Jools Holland’s Hootenanny show where Amy’s self-described “Shirley Bassey” dress slipped down as the tit tape came unstuck, unable to resist the weight of the double dose of “chicken fillets” that she’d stuffed into the strapless M&S bra. It was typical of Amy to want to create a family within her working environment, and I knew that I had been chosen perhaps more for my loyalty than my talent.
It was towards the end of 2006 that Amy asked me to work with her as her stylist. By the time I met Amy, I had assisted two stylists and had started to work with some of the local bands in Camden. I had worked in the industry since I was 16, when I assisted a fashion designer in my hometown of Fairford, Gloucestershire. She was unlike anyone I had ever met before: Amy Winehouse by Palace Pier, Brighton, 2004. In the early days, we were totally unaffected by her success – she just happened to be an award-winning artist. Her irreverent attitude made her intriguing but also normalised the situation. I suppose it was a bit strange that one of us had a team of people working for them and would be whisked away for weeks at a time to write and record. I can’t stress enough how normal we were as a group of young adults living in London, although perhaps looking back on it, that was just our normal. Our friendship developed from there and there was mutual respect from the get-go. We met in a bar in the West End and ended up gallivanting round Soho – the Raymond Revuebar for Gay Bingo followed by too many drinks at the Shadow Lounge, where she was politely asked to leave for being too rowdy. She was casually cool, with a north London accent and heaps of confidence. My first impression of her was that she was unlike anyone I had ever met before. 26 before going to the winning bidders after the exhibition.Normal text size Larger text size Very large text size Some items sold this weekend will head to the “Amy: Beyond the Stage” exhibition at the Design Museum in London beginning Nov.

Winehouse died on July 23, 2011, at age 27 of accidental alcohol poisoning. Other items included a floral gold lamé D&G stage-worn dress ($150,000), a Temperly London tan and black jumpsuit worn at a Sunday Times 2008 portrait shoot and the 46664 Concert performance honoring Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday in Hyde Park, London ($121,600), a skirt she wore (sold for $11,250) and her Christian Louboutin tan peep toe heels worn at the same performance and to her father’s 60th birthday party at Trent Park Golf Course in November 2009 and to London’s The Horse and Hound Pub in August 2010 ($38,400).

The dress is described as a “custom-made figure-hugging halter mini dress designed by Winehouse’s designer and stylist, Naomi Parry, has a bamboo and floral print on silk incorporated into a Spanx dress.” The biggest seller of the event was the dress Winehouse wore in her final stage performance in Belgrade in her 2011 Summer Festival Tour, which sold for a $243,200, which Julien’s said was 16 times its original estimate of $15,000. An auction of most than 800 of Amy Winehouse’s dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories that she wore on stage, in photo shoots and at various public events brought in $4 million over the weekend, Julien’s Auctions said Sunday.
