We couldn't resist checking out what today's Michael Jackson memorabilia auction had to offer. Just as we hoped--loads of embellished accessories and strong shoulders, just like Spring 2009! The Michael Jackson comparisons have stretched well into the Fall 2009 season so let's count on MJ's recently announced tour only adding fuel to the fire. For now, check out a few photos from today's event along with their current season likenesses.
Not even when “Bad” was at its baddest was dressing like [Michael] Jackson really what I would call “fashionable.”... But now it’s the most fashionable look you can go for, thanks to Balmain and its stiff, heavily embellished military-style jackets...Which brings us to Dynasty. Yes, yes, you all know about the return of shoulder pads. Nicolas Ghesquière has taken this trend to its natural conclusion with his collection at Balenciaga... The fact that his deep, plush, plunging evening dresses—with, of course, shoulder pads—were shown with that ultimate eighties staple, polka-dot tights, made me love them even more.
