60yrs of Michael Jackson : The fashion Icon

Michael

Jackson once recalled that whenever he’d watch James Brown dancing on TV during his childhood, he’d shout at the screen in frustration when they didn’t film his feet. He wanted to learn the moves. “If I had the chance to talk to [Michelangelo],” he told Oprah Winfrey in 1993, “I would want to know about what inspired him to become who he is. Not about who he went out with last night, or why he decided to sit out in the sun so long.”In my eyes, growing up a Michael Jackson disciple, the art always went hand-in-hand with the artist, this mythical creature seemingly of another world. From his fantastical face to his fairy-dusted wardrobe, Michael had to look as superhuman as he did to match his incomprehensible talents and the enigmatic phenomenon he was. Watching his interviews, I had similar childhood experiences, only I’d be shouting, “Ask him about his wardrobe!” Hung up on scrutinising his eccentricities, they never did. On August 29th he would have turned 60.If fashion says it’s forbidden, I’m going to do it,” Michael wrote in Moonwalk from 1988. Rather than drape himself in the latest runway fashions, he largely commissioned his wardrobe from personal dressmakers, inspired by history and art. And yet, what few people know is how well Michael knew his fashion. “Not long before he passed, Michael personally called John Galliano to request a bespoke Napoleon jacket,” Rushka Bergman tells me. A fine art scholar turned creative director, she styled Jackson for a Bruce Weber cover story for L’Uomo Vogue in 2007 and the two hit it off.

For the last years of his life, she served as his full-time stylist, the only one he ever had. It was Bergman who dressed Michael in the pagoda-shouldered Balmain jackets by Christophe Decarnin – inspired by the star’s own fashion legacy – which became his wardrobe during the filming of This Is It, the rehearsal documentary shot for the tour that never was. She put him in Tom Ford tailoring, schoolboy Dior Homme looks, and gold embellished Givenchy.
