Amy Winehouse's family will auction off some of her clothes ahead of the 10th anniversary of her death.

The late singer's father, Mitch Winehouse, told The Mirror that seeing Amy's clothes stored away became very difficult for the family.

"Amy's belongings were in a giant lock-up and the family decided that while we would keep the most precious, personal items for ourselves, auctioning others would help those in need via the foundation and other charities," Mitch told the outlet. "With the anniversary of her death coming up, every time the family go to the lock-up, it's overwhelmingly emotional seeing her lovely dresses hanging on the rails, so we decided to auction these show outfits.

Julien's Auctions based in Beverly Hills will begin the auction in November. The company said on its website that the auction will include some of the "most iconic stage, photo shoot, and performance worn dresses, shoes, jewelry and accessories" from the late singer.

"It seems a fitting way to raise funds in her name," Winehouse told The Mirror.

Amy Winehouse, known for her soulful vocals and jazz influence, died on July 23, 2011, of accidental alcohol poisoning at age 27. At the time, the coroner's inquest into the death found that Amy had more than five times the British driving limit of alcohol in her system when she died.

An information page from the auction house says the proceeds would go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was organized by her parents in 2011 after her death.

Some of the items being auctioned include lace bras, sketches, three pairs of ballet slippers, and two bustiers, The Mirror reported.

The outlet also reported the iconic heart-shaped purse Amy took to the 2007 Brit Awards would be among the items. The purse is expected to fetch more than $19,500 USD.
