Celebrate the legacy of one of the greatest artists of our time in the first major respective exhibition on Amy Winehouse, at The Design Museum. Born in North London, she became one of the 21st-century’s most beloved artists with her unmistakable voice, lyrics and beehive hairstyle. Step backstage, relive iconic performances and fashion moments and learn about her creative process in Amy: Beyond the Stage.
Marking the 10-year anniversary of Amy’s death, the exhibition delves into Amy’s emergence as an artist, the musical influences that she drew on, her key albums Frank and Back to Black, and the story behind her iconic beehive, as well as many of her most memorable fashion moments. To begin, unravel the story of Amy’s early career through her recordings and teenage notebooks. Then explore the creative process behind her music and the incredible musical artists who influenced her, including Dinah Washington, Frank Sinatra and The Supremes. Plus, find out about the different genres she drew on, such as jazz and 1960s pop.
Items on display include the outfits she wore during her greatest performances and handwritten lyrics.
