Missing Micheal Jackson...

Pictures of the new wax figure of MJ revealed at Madame Tussauds Hollywood in Los Angeles this month brought a lot of memories back again. The tragic loss of the star, the shock, the pictures of the fans in sorrow….for me memories of his dance movements. As a kid, I loved imitating him and perhaps did the moonwalk better than the cute boy next door.

And apart from being a popstar, his personal fashion statement always set a new trend, be it the single sequined gloves or his red leather jacket with zipper details from thriller album, or the shoulder pads. (If you are looking for some MJ inspired pieces, check out the Balmain Fall-Winter 2009-2010 Ready-to Wear collection)

Sequins were his favorite and always a part of his signature look. Sequin jackets, sequin armbands, gold epaulettes truly defined his perspective of style and let’s admit it only MJ could carry those sequins with such panache.

It was great seeing celebrities donning MJ inspired styles and we did our part too by designing sequined kaftans for the boutique.



I also found these beads that were similar to the Givenchy jacket he had worn and incorporated it into one of our designs.

This piece is now available at Kraze boutique in Dubai.

You can call me silly or just about crazy but I have grown up listening to MJ and dancing to his tunes. It was just my way of saying, I am going to miss him bad.
