Amy Winehouse is set to receive £500,000 (US $980,ooo) for a one-time performance.
The troubled singer has been offered the sum by French fashion house Louis Vuitton, famed for their designer bags and luggage, to appear at their show during Paris Fashion Week. She flies to Paris from London via private jet today.
A source said, “Louis Vuitton are huge fans of Amy and think she’ll be the perfect performer during their show, which is one of the most anticipated throughout the week. It’s a lot of money but they know she’ll be worth it.”
However, Winehouse’s unique fashion sense isn’t admired by everyone as she was voted Worst Dressed at Thursday night’s Shockwaves NME Awards 2008.
The beehive-haired singer beat competition from Pete Doherty, Johnny Borrell and Mika to be given the dubious accolade at the London ceremony.
Earlier this week, it was announced Winehouse will launch her own fashion line of clothing and make-up.
A source said, “Amy’s distinctive style has been copied by girls around the country and there’s a lot of money to be made.
“She wants to bring out a range of cosmetics and fashion products. There could be multiple wallet, hairspray, zippy coin purse, head scarves, eyeliner,zippy organizer and perfume. All the things that make her who she is.”
The signature piece is set to be the black liquid eyeliner which Winehouse wears heavily around her eyes.
