Through his music, dance, and fashion, Michael Jackson
created a mystique that was unique to him and recognized as
such throughout the world. For five decades he mesmerized
audiences—and for twenty-five of those years Michael Bush
was there as Jackson’s designer, stylist, and friend,
accompanying the King of Pop on his journey to becoming the
King of Style. While paying homage to the original Billie Jean, Beat It,
and Thriller looks that put Jackson on the fashion map, The
King of Style also traces their evolution over several
decades. Jackson’s penchant for the military silhouette is
explored in detail, along with the trade secrets behind the
sequined glove and the fencing uniform that he, Michael
Bush, and Dennis Tompkins reinvented to make stage magic. It
was Bush who dressed Jackson for the final time, before he
was buried. Dozens of garments were left unfinished by his
shocking death. The legacy of Michael Jackson lives on. An artist like none
other, he transformed everything he touched—from the fabric
of his clothes to his legions of fans around the world.
