Socks and short trousers ::: When you are one of the world's best dancers you'd want to show off your fancy footwork too. In the process MJ made short trousers, white socks and loafers a style statement in its own right

: A touch of sequins from jackets, tops to shoes is something we all love to wear out and will never go out of fashion!!

Thriller changed the face of music videos and also the face of fashion – red leather could never be worn again without a nod to the King of Pop.

So I can’t believe it’s been a year since MJ died! It’s one of those moments when you know exactly where you were when you heard the news.

Michael Jackson gave me so much more than great music.

It was “Black & White” that my brother and I drove our parents crazy with singing the lyrics too. “Thriller” that i danced to at my year 6 recital.

Cult label Balmain based their entire S/S 09 collection on MJ – and droves of celebrities followed, making their military jackets one of this season's most coveted items.

You know you’re a fashion icon to be reckoned with when you achieve world domination with a single glove. Ask anyone – one glove equals Michael Jackson, full stop

It was his song ” Don’t blame it on Sunshine” that got everyone off their chairs at my 21st… even the oldies, and his song “Heal the world” that made me cry in “This is it!” Click here to view the trailer and here for the ‘King of Pops’ Best videos. Or check out the best radio station for all his tracks online http://www.mjtunes.com/, even if you just play it in the background as you get ready for tonight

Military Style

Either way his songs are nostalgic, each one reminds me of something and the memories make me smile right now as I write this. Even if you weren’t a fan of his music his fashion touched our wardrobe culture in some ways too…I have surrounded my blog with my ‘pick of the pics’ . So pull out your military t-shirts, chuck on that leather jacket and put your sequins dancing shoes on, turn the music on and “Remember the Time”.
