Jean Paul Gaultier catwalk show is insult to Amy Winehouse, claims father The former taxi driver, 60, told the Sun: "The family were upset to see those pictures, they were a total shock. They also took to the runway to a barbershop rendition of Winehouse's songs, with all models wearing black veils during the show's finale. Gaultier confessed although he had never met the star - who died at the age of 27 in her north London home last year - their "styles had always been similar." Mr Winehouse said he was proud of his daughter's influence on fashion, but accused Gaultier of portraying a view of the singer when she was "not at her best." "We're proud of her influence on fashion but find black veils on models, smoking cigarettes with a barbershop quartet singing her music in bad taste," he added. It portrays a view of Amy when she was not at her best and glamorises some of the more upsetting times in her life. That's upsetting for her family. The British singer battled with a drink and drugs problem during her life prompting Mr Winehouse to set up the Amy Winehouse Foundation to help vulnerable youngsters in her memory. He added: "No one asked us for permission or offered to make a donation to the foundation."
