Fred Perry said it had drawn on her “laid-back holiday styling and her 2007 trip to the Caribbean island of Mustique”.

Twenty per cent of sales go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, helping kids troubled by alcohol and drugs issues.

Buyers are told: “Our collaboration with the Foundation continues to celebrate Amy and her inimitable style.”

Amy, who died aged 27 in 2011, is the subject of new film Back to Black

Earlier in the week, Winehouse's best friend told how the singer would be “fuming” at new biopic Back To Black, insisting: “She deserves better.”

In an emotional interview, Tyler James said the film resembled a “fantasy movie” and could never be described as a full biographical look at her life.

He told The Sun on Sunday: “I wish Amy could have seen it. She’d be fuming. Amy deserved a lot ­better. She was a superstar.

“I was not expecting it to be realistic or completely accurate. But it was worse than I thought it would be. It was dreadful and does not do her justice.

“They sugar coated, glossed over her amazing life and missed out huge chunks. It is not telling her story. So much more could have been told in this film that would have built up a better and fuller picture of who Amy was.

“She was the most amazing, beautiful person that I have ever met in my life. She was hilariously funny, intelligent and smart. That didn’t come across.”
