Michael Jackson’s Clothes – Interesting article in the Guardian.co.uk newspaper: Quote” Like the ceremonial robes of a boy king, Michael Jackson’s costumes were as iconic as his music”.

Michael Jackson was the King of Pop: fans reached through car windows, up from stadium floors and across hotel lobbies just to try to touch his clothes for most of his life. Now that he is dead, the ceremonial robes photographed below – from a collection that was due to go to auction earlier this year, but then withdrawn – seem fit for a shrine.

But look at them close up, and what strikes you is their otherworldliness: they look both too heavy for those slight shoulders and too light, too insubstantial.

It is the accessories that are most iconic. Click on Michael Jackson’s Clothes to take a look at some of his most spectacular costume pieces…
