As she took off her trademark beehive and wiped away her heavy kohl eye make-up, Amy Winehouse made a holly ann dress coast frank admission. ‘I won’t be an old lady. I’ll die young,’ she announced, without a hint of drama or self-pity.

She was dressed in pyjamas with her hair loose in a pretty bob, the fragrance of her favourite Penhaligon’s bath oil scenting the house in Bow, East London, where she was living at the time. Despite her tragically prophetic words, she was at her most relaxed.

It was a side of Amy not many people knew, but Archie Reed, who became close to her after meeting her in 2006 at a party in Chelsea with his then boyfriend, coast maxi dresses designer Alexander McQueen, was one of the privileged few.

Archie was not at Amy’s funeral and says he was not invited. Like her millions of fans, he prefers to focus on her music.

‘Music was her one passion – it made her so happy. There’s a lot that has never been released. She wrote a lot when she was living in St Lucia. I just hope her occassion dresses fans get to hear it.’
