First and foremost..."The Michael Jackson jacket". I know parents probably thought their kids looked crazy wearing those little red (p)leather jackets with zippers. Most kids I knew had to have one or some version of one....
The other "Michael Jackson Jacket"
the glittery socks...not only was he going to rock high waters, but he was going to wear bright white socks AND on top of that, they were glittery, so you could absolutely not miss them.
The trademark glove. That glove represents the magic of Michael...
Michael's military look
We really took for granted Michael's "look". It just was who he was. We didn't think about how the idea came up to add these various touches or what made him think he could make highwaters cool. Labels spend a lot of money and time trying to come up with a "look", and artists "trademark" etc. and it's amazing that everything about Michael from day one was so unique.
If you emulated any of it, you were automatically emulating Michael....not just a fashion trend.
