Following Amy Winehouse's tragic death, there was one fashion-related question we didn't have the heart to ask: what about her collaboration with Fred Perry? Thestylish singer launched a really cute '50s-inspiredcollection for the brand last fall and the partnership has continued on until now with high-waisted skirts, argyle sweaters, and modified polos. Thankfully we've learned that the collection will live on for two more seasons.

On Fred Perry's website, it says: "After much consideration and the blessing of Amy's family, we have decided to realease the AW11 Amy Winehouse for Fred Perry collection. Amy was passionate and dedicated to the collaboration and her signature style is clearly stamped across each piece. In such circumstances, the usual royalties and fees from the collection will be donated to the soon to be established Amy Winehouse foundation."

Awesome! We're so glad this worked out. WWD got the inside scoop on the continuing partnership. Amy Winehouses father said in a statement: "When Fred Perry came to us to ask what we would like to do with the new collection it was natural to continue…Amy loved working on both collections, and would want them to be made available. All the money we make and the donation that Fred Perry will give will go straight into to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which we are setting up to help children and young people in her name." Fred Perry has said in addition to the collection sales he will be making seasonal donations to the Foundation.
