Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]
Michael Bush
(Author), John Branca (Foreword)


Publication Date: October 16, 2012 - Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon is a fascinating look at the intersection of music and fashion, as well as an homage to Michael Jackson’s brilliant fusing of costume, personality, and performance to create his iconic image. This is the first art-driven book about the costumes, apparel, shoes, and accessories worn by Michael Jackson, including hundreds of lavish photographs and a behind-the-scenes look into the process of collaborating with him on the making of his wardrobe, written by his longtime costume designer Michael Bush.


Dressing Michael Jackson will feature exquisite photographs of the striking fashions worn by Michael at the height of his career, as well as images showing the carefully planned construction of the clothes to incorporate his unique dance moves and the details of the dynamic fabrics, metals, and other materials used. Accompanying text will provide insight into the artists’ methodology and captivating stories from the decades-long relationship between Michael Jackson and his fashion designers Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins. Their stories are funny and touching, and show a personal and artistic side of Michael Jackson never before revealed.

Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

I really Love the way Michael dressed. Especially in 2005; even though it was a very dark year, His style was just classy, and beautiful. I think this book will be different from most of the books that are out now and I cant wait. I believe Michael had this aura that was sooo storng that it didnt really matter what he wore, he made it look good.

Tnx qbee. :D

Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

It seems this will be the second publication I will buy after Michael's death--Vogel was the first. This does not seem to be a trashy tell all about Michael, so at the moment I am looking at it favorable.
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

I would like to get this and I am glad it is supported by the estate.

Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

Karen Faye can't be too happy about that.
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

I look forward to reading it.
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

It sounds quite interesting and epic! :wild: I'd love to know if Michael contributed in some ways to the outfits' creation... :thinking:
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

I can't wait for this! :D

Michael's outfits and trends have never really gotten the attention that it deserved. For me personally it was one of the things why I became a fan back in the days - besides the music and stuff. Let's hope this book gives a lot more insight into it. Very exciting.

I'm sure most of the designs stemmed from collaborative effort :)
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

Im looking forward to reading this book. Michael's fashion screamed class, and I love Bush's "Liberace going to war" comparison of Michael's fashion taste!
 
Re: Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon [Hardcover]

Why wouldn't Karen be happy? Did she want to write a book too.

I think someone mentioned that John Branca wrote the foreword and maybe she doesn't like him? It doesn't seem she supports anything the estate supports or involved in.
