Sometime between her St. Lucia beach escapades, Amy Winehouse worked out a deal with British clothing line PPQ.

PPQ, designed by Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker, will debut an Amy-inspired line later this year. I admit, I'm not holding my breath, but are you interested in what Amy will lend to the fashion label?

Marni has announced its Fall 09 menswear show will take place by way of a presentation rather than the usual runway spectacular. The company has articulated their ongoing focus on menswear, despite deciding on this rather subdued format for next season.
