Looking at the wardrobe of the King of Pop: A Talk with Michael Bush in conversation
Who would Michael Jackson have been without his unique style, his military style jackets, his gloves, his hats and shoes which were much a part of his persona as his ground breaking dancing and spectacular showmanship ? Bath in Fashion is thrilled to welcome Michael Bush, who created the flamboyant stage costumes for King of Pop Michael Jackson for a quarter of a century.
Michael Bush will be presenting a talk and signing copies of his new book “Dressing Michael Jackson; The King of Style”. This is the first art driven book about the costumes, shoes and accessories worn by Michael Jackson. Michael Bush who spent 25 years (along with his late partner, Dennis Tompkins) designing iconic outfits for Jackson with be in Bath to share his personal experiences.
In his new book ‘The King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson’, Michael Bush tells the stories behind the clothing. He set out to create something new every time he designed the iconic outfits for Jackson. Bush was there in the thick of it, interacting with Jackson as both a colleague and a friend. This fascinating book chronicles the fusion of music and fashion and pays homage to Michael Jackson’s extra ordinary ability to combine costume, personality, and performance to create his iconic image.
Lady Gaga’s favourite milliner Philip Treacy accessorised his outrageous hats at London Fashion Week in September 2012 with the military style uniforms that were once worn by Jackson. In November Lady Gaga amassed some 55 items created by Michael Bush at the LA auction of his work.
