King of Fashion

I have been overcome with emotion over the last few days, with the passing of the legend that is Michael Jackson.

He has inspired so many musically, but let's take a moment to remember Michael - the fashion Icon.

Kanye too!


Rhianna and Beyonce, clearly influenced by Michael's experimental style

And how about that fedora? Just ask Diddy, Meagan Good and Angela Simmons.

Today, I would like to pay tribute to a man who was not afraid to be daring. A man who did with music what many could only dream of.

He gave us Billie Jean, he taught us to moonwalk and made white socks look cool, even if just for a second.

Whatever you think of Michael Jackson the truth is, his shortcomings will never equal his achievements.

He took risks with life, with music and with fashion and his legacy will no doubt continue to influence many generations to come.

I feel very privileged to have lived in the same era as the greatest entertainer the world will ever see.

RIP Michael Joe Jackson
