Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson!
It seems that this weekend we were heavily bombarded by tributes to the King of Pop and his mysterious demise.
I hope that everybody is not sick of hearing about the man and all the differing theories on his death and more importantly, his life.
There is however one topic I’d like to touch on about Michael Jackson which I’m sure most of you will agree on…his outlandish fashion sense.
Michael Jackson fashion has most certainly changed the way we view fashion extremes.
When he first came onto the scenes he was cruising around in bell bottoms and frilly shirts…wow, do you remember the gear he used to wear, it makes his more “well known” fashion trends seem like year 3000 hyper-couture LOL.
However as his popularity grew and he branched away from his family his fashion style evolved at a rapid rate.
What was it that made him wear such outrageous fashion styles?
Was it merely a product of the decadent 80’s, was it an attempt to break the boundaries of popular fashion…or was it all art, purely?
His most well known and more recent fashion designs tend to have an almost military theme.
Perhaps the style that shot his unique fashion sense into the commercial cosmos was his black tuxedo look, with black shoes & white socks and pegged pants. It’s his “moonwalk” gear to be sure 
Michael Jackson fashion has always set the precedent no matter what the era. It seems that even in our modern age where his old school style has long been recorded into the fashion history books, we can’t help but steal elements from his fashion style.
Who can forget such fashion classics as Michael Jacksons’ red leather jacket (with zips) from Thriller…absolutely timeless style, I wouldn’t wear one myself, but that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the extent that this style shaped our fashion world.
It’s not often a man can have such an impact on society with his dress sense. Elvis had his time at the helm of iconic fashion, but Michael Jackson fashion has taken the torch and carried the fashion world to the next level.
Obviously Michael Jacksons’ fashion style has been tweaked and helped along by professionals in the industry, but nobody makes it their own quite like Michael.
Well this may be my last post on Michael Jackson for some time, unless of course we hear something about foul play in his death. Although the conspiracy theorists are probably having a field day with his death as it is.
Michael Jackson fashion will probably be around for a long time to come…in fact I’m certain of it.
Michael will live forever through his music and insanely forward thinking fashion style.
Duncs.
Miss u micheal jackson,you will always live in my heart.
