Fashion Jackson

Written by Maura

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good MJ song as much as the next person and sure its sad when anyone passes away, no matter what mistakes they made..but the coverage has just been nuts. Instead of relating to you all every detail of Michael Jackson’s memorial service/concert, I will focus on something I know a bit more about..fashion. So MJ was a musician, and entertainer of course, but he was also very daring and flashy with his dress..and anyone that is willing to take chances will, at some point, hit a good note and set a new trend. MJ was no exception. We’ve see so many celebs be influenced by Michael Jackson’s iconic looks and you can bet that those occurrences will only increase with his death. I can’t help but wonder what Michael will be buried in..is that morbid? probably, but I’m still curious..sparkly glove on the right hand perhaps? Anyway, of course when you think Michael Jackson style you probably do think of the one glove. So where have we seen this influence? Beyonce..duh! After showing her metal-gloved hand off in the famous Single Ladies music video she wore this number to the World Music Awards

So besides the glove, if you were to dress as Michael Jackson for Halloween(which I guarantee will be top 10 costume this year) what else would be a must have? That’s right, a fedora. That black fedora was a staple of Michael’s wardrobe,and many celebs have copied the look, including Mr. P Diddy

Then comes the military jacket..or marching band outfit..however you want to think about it, michael was known for it. And tons of celebs from Beyonce to Rihanna have taken up the King of Pop’s look.

No matter what your opinion of Michael, you can’t deny that he has had an influence on the fashion world. You know when Versace outfits your entire family with custom clothes for your funeral that you were pretty appreciated in the industry, I wouldnt be surprised to see a clothing line come out headed by Janet or Jermaine of all Michael inspired looks pretty soon..we shall see!
