It's been three years since Karl Lagerfeld declared Amy Winehouse a fashion icon with a Chanel show inspired by her personal style, and since then the singer has done little prove him right.

Now it seems Winehouse is back in the fashion game. Rumors surfaced a few months ago about an upcoming fashion line, and today WWD confirms they are true. Preppy gingham prints in a palette of pink and black, pencil skirts, girly twinsets, and polo shirts with popped collars make up Winehouse's 17-piece collection designed with British label Fred Perry. According to a Fred Perry spokesperson, Winehouse attended all of three design meetings "where she was closely involved in product style selection and the application of fabric, color and styling details." The lineup will be in stores this October.

>> Natalia Vodianova was front row yesterday at Louis Vuitton, but it was the cast on the runway for the And God Created Woman-themed show — after the Brigitte Bardot film — who demanded all the attention.  After Miuccia Prada started the "womanly" casting trend this season, Giles and now Vuitton (both styled by Katie Grand) continued the idea.

Marc Jacobs's below-the-knee full skirts and bosom-baring scoopnecks were donned by opener Laetitia Casta, as well as Bar Refaeli, Noemie Lenoir, Lara Stone, and Catherine McNeil.  Karolina Kurkova and Adriana Lima — both fresh off pregnancies — also walked, as did Lily Donaldson in her only show of the season. But the major closer: Elle Macpherson, who reportedly turned down Marc before rethinking and saying yes.

“Designers are always saying they’re going to do a collection for women, but then every girl on the runway (catwalk) is under twenty,” Jacobs said backstage. “I wanted a variety of ages and sizes. We set out to cast gorgeous women, women who feel happy to put their make-up on, get dressed up, get all their accessories.” “It’s a bit old-fashioned, I know, but I think it’s nice for a change.”
