Michael Jackson's Iconic Style

This past week fans around the world were shocked to hear that pop icon Michael Jackson died from cardiac arrest. Only 50 years old, he left behind a vast repertoire that has influenced all pop artists, and will continue to influence from years to come. As an entertainer he was unique and his sense of style was like no other, a style you may call flashy, eccentric, avant-garde, or outrageous. Recently Michael has been all over fashion media in regards to his fashion choices as well as speculation for what he might wear during his 50 date tour. It was said that he was going to wear thousands of Swarovski crystals for one of his performances. There has also been a lot of buzz regarding the apparent similarities between Michael's choice jackets and Christophe Decarnin's Balmain jackets.
Below is a collage of some of Michael's signature style decisions that he has made throughout the years (courtesy of NY Magazine's fashion blog The Cut).
