June 26, 2009 9:38 am
One of the ironies of Michael Jackson’s death at 50 is that he had been back on the radar for so many people lately, fashion watchers included. Just yesterday there was the news that the King of Pop would be outfitting himself in hundreds of thousands of Swarovski crystals at his upcoming sold-out London concerts. There were the paparazzi pictures of him in Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy creations. And, of course, there were Christophe Decarnin’s much-photographed spangled band-leader jackets for Balmain, inevitably reminiscent of the one Jackson wore on his Grammys victory lap for Thriller. In fact, the star’s long career was almost as full of influential fashion moments—the white socks and black loafers, the red leather motorcycle jacket, the infamous single sparkly glove—as it was chart-topping hits. Here, some of Jackson’s most memorable looks.

In his way he was extravagance, out of whatever fashion style. He made it himself, that’s an very honorable point of view. Don’t look what is common but wear what you think is right. I just read the Blog of Lisa-Marie Presley and she wrote that already in 1994 he predicted his dead among other things. I have no opinion about this Blog or what his ex-wife has written on her Blog, I’m not even upset about his dead. I only feel sorry for the millions off people which adored him, and were looking for his performances in London and eventually in other cities. R.I.P Michael Jackson, I hope you find the rest you needed so much. Arriverderci e saluti.

By bryony1 on 07/7/09 at 7:34 ami’ll always love this guy…innovative in music, dance, videos, fashion…and about his face, he only did his nose; he looks too much like his father and brothers to have had any surgery; and the paleness comes from vitiligo…anyway, i’m so glad to see him being appreciated in fashion too, ‘cos he deserves it…<3
