Can't believe that Michael Jackson is no longer with us, he passed away today of a reported Cardiac Arrest at the young age of 50. What remains now is his undying influence on music, pop culture and fashion.
He was always ahead of the game, influencing an entire generation during the 80s and continuing to inspire designers and shows including the sequin gloves at Louis Vuitton and the crystalized jackets that sparked Balmainia. In fact, he was even seen spotted wearing Balmain in his final days. Though I'm saddened by the loss, I can't help but reminisce over his incredible impact on style.
Looking back over the years, here are just a handful of looks he's helped inspire:

I'm really sad about him!
Great, great post. I grew up a MJ fan and to this day listen to him on my ipod. It's just unfortunate that an icon like him both in fashion and the music industry ended up the way he did.
