The buzz surrounding Michael Jackson’s death has not stopped, even after his burial on September 4th, 2009. Recently, fashion designer/celebrity collaborator, Christian Audigier, revealed his upcoming Christian Audigier x Michael Jackson collection. Audigier is also rumored to be the buyer of Jackson’s 30-million dollars Holmby Hills mansion. Many speculations about Michael Jackson’s debts also surfaced and has been grazing the headlines since his untimely death back in July. Sales of Jackson’s personal memorabilia is widely anticipated, and it’s a surprise that Australians actually are the ones lucky enough to hold the first-ever auction of the King of Pop’s famed bejeweled glove.

A bejeweled white glove once tossed by Michael Jackson to an Australian fan was sold at an auction last Sunday, for AU$57,600 or US$48,400. The glove was obtained by the fan over a decade ago in 1996 as a part of his HIStory world tour. and was sold almost twice the estimated selling price. Jackson tossed the glove at audience member Bill Hibble, at the Australian premiere for the film “Ghosts” in which he had a starring role. The lucky bidder is Warwick Stone, a buyer for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, who exceeded the estimated selling price of AU$30,000. The glove was auctioned by the Melbourne auction house, Bonhams and Goodman. Charlotte Stanes, spokeswoman for the auction house stated:

“We are very happy with the result. It’s the first glove we know about in Australia.”

Will there be any more Michael Jackson fashion items up for auction? We’ll keep you informed.

Of course the clothing line is fake!

The actress slapped a few people and things while she was at it with her parody and made us laugh harder than we think we could.  Our favorite was the last one where she introduced “Save The Last Shants”, a shirt which could also double up as pants (shirt + pants = shants, get it?).  Julia stated:

“I was just shooting in Belize and in St. Tropez and I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt, and I just thought it was so creative. He was just liberated from the conventions of fashion.”

She’s probably referring to model, Erin Wasson, who once said a rather insensitive comment on how homeless people have the best style. *shaking head*

Anyway, in the video, Julia Stiles mentioned her website www.juliastilesstyles.com and when you go there, you’d find all the clothes featured in the footage.  Try clicking ‘purchase’ on the ridiculously-priced clothes and you’ll end up on a page that says it’s all sold out, but you will be suggested to donate to a charity called The Lunch Box Fund.

The Lunchbox Fund is an organization that address the needs of impoverished students at Meadowlands High School in Soweto, South Africa.  Its mission is alleviating the plight of hunger-stricken children within the South African township school systems and through Central and East Africa as well, in their development.  They aim to reduce short-term hunger, increase student attendance at school, provide students with food to increase their learning capacity in school, promote parental participation in school and allieviation of household stress due to lack of funds for food.

There IS something deep behind this humorous video and we applaud Julia Stiles for her funny and witty way in doing such a good deed!

Kanye Update!!

MediaTakeOut reported today that Kanye West is rumored to be in discussion with people from Nike to design a limited pair of Nike Air Jordan’s.  Although negotiations are just starting, insiders say that Kanye and Nike are excited about the project.

Earlier this year, Kanye West launched his designs for Nike: The Air Yeezys, in 3 colorways; the Zen Gray/Charcoal, The Black/Black and The Net/Net.  Each colorway launch was much anticipated by Yeezy fans because each colorway is only produced in very limited quantity.

Still in sneakerworld, Kanye West’s Louis Vuiton kicks have also been seen from one red carpet to another, worn by his fellow celebs.

Looks like the American Boy is serious in the kicks business.

Early Years

Posing in his Afro, Michael was already a stylish young man back in the seventies.  As he separates from The Jacksons Five to pursue his solo career, he started developing his own style.

After the release of “Off The Wall” in 1979, Michael Jackson ushered in the Thriller age.  The swagger was a signature jacket which he made famous from his music video along with the Thriller dance moves. PVC, faux leather and brilliant red were the key catchphrase when referring to the jackets.

Michael entered the “Bad” years and he polished his performances as well as his costumes, to add dramatic touches to his concerts.   Aside from the dramatic costumes, he introduced some attires that are easily associated with him in the future:  the fedora, the arm band and the loose white shirt.

Michael’s fascination with embellishments on his show attire peaked in the “Dangerous” years, as the album blown every chart in the world.  Probably a token of his success, Michael Jackson started to gleam and shine in his glory with many gold, military style, which he wore to lead legions of fans around the world to the top of his career.

In the mid towards the end of the 90s, Michael Jackson entered his “HiStory” years.  Michael Jackson embraced his softer look wearing mostly lightweight flowy shirts -even barechested, as well as keeping his trademark of army-look, only this time slightly in futuristic mode.  Note that mirror-glasses he made famous as well.

In his later years, Michael Jackson released his last album: “Invincible” and it turned out that the man kept on being a head-turner wherever he went and whatever he did.  Here are some of Michael’s best looks in his last years.

The world has lost an icon.  Not just in music, Michael Jackson managed to touch every single aspect of popular culture, including fashion.  Rest In Peace, MJ.  You’ll be greatly missed.

Katy Perry and Dita Von Teese for H&M

H&M is also a favorite among Hollywood celebs, and prior to their collaboration with Jimmy Choo, the brand linked arms with some of the biggest celebs known in the fashion and music world in the H&M and Designer Against AIDS for Fashion Against AIDS. The lineup includes Katy Perry, Dita Von Teese, Estelle, N.E.R.D and Yoko Ono. 25% of the sales price will be donated to youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects. The collection, in 100% organic cotton, is already available in H&M youth DIVIDED department since May 28, 2009.

Gorgeous singer/songwriter/rapper/producer, Estelle, tries her luck in the fashion world by teaming up with fashion designer Jonathan Kelsey. Kelsey who’s known best for his shoe designs have been tapped by Belvedere Vodka to do a duet collaboration in designing the Belvie Bag, in conjunction with the vodka brand’s launch for Belvedere Black Raspberry.

Estelle’s thoughts on her collaboration with Kelsey:

“Jonathan does great shoes, let me say that for a start! He’s also a lovely guy, really sweet and it’s not often you get to meet people that genuine in this industry. When I saw the ideas he had for The Belvie I thought, ‘Now I can definitely work that handbag from day to night’!”

Estelle is the inspiration behind this cream and gold Italian leather oversized tote bag. Kelsey lined the bag with a raspberry-colored plush suede lining, which makes the bag all the more luxurious. Estelle has a personal definition of luxury:

“[Luxury is] Being able to have the things you want and really being able to afford them, to get them at your whim rather than scrimping and saving for them. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, just something you want. Me? I’m a ’shoe freak’…I love shoes, I have a whole room full of them, they’re everywhere, I can’t ever give a pair back once I’ve tried them on, it’s becoming a real problem. I go to sleep wearing them!”

The tote bag was launched on Wednesday, 29 April in New York, and if you happen to be in London right now, punch this into your organizer: there will be a pop-up store in Mount Street between 5-9 May. You can purchase this limited edition bag for £900.  That’s about $1330.  If this is a bit too steep for ya, well, be there from 9 a.m. as one of the first 100 visitors to step into the pop-up store on the 5th of May will win a Belvie.
