Amy Winehouse dress fetches $68,000 at auction
A printed chiffon dress worn by the late singer Amy Winehouse for the cover of her chart-topping album “Back to Black” has sold for £43,200 ($68,000) at auction.
The hammer price was well above pre-sale estimates of £10-20,000 pounds. Proceeds from the Disaya-designed dress will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity set up by her father Mitch to help young people struggling with ill health, poverty or addiction.
