Michael Jackson, THIS IS IT

Filed Under Designer Sunglasses 



As Michael Jackson’s “This is it” tour film opens around the world in conjunction with a roving museum of his artifacts, for the next two weeks only, we are reminded of the star’s accomplishments, fame and style. The King of Pop, clad in Ray Ban Wayfarers, took the stage in his final rehearsals in high energy, with even higher expectations of what his comeback UK tour would be. For the ailing and down-on-his-luck star, this tour would signify a return to the limelight, but also a resurgence of the message Mr. Jackson so adamantly pushed during his lifetime.

A bridge between the black and white communities, Michael Jackson was an activist who sent his message to the masses through music. Perhaps the most recognizable musician since the Beatles, Jackson holds several billboard chart-topping titles in addition to soundtracks, guest appearances, charitable donations and more.

Many will remember the departed star as a philanthropist, while others crave his music as the music they grew up with. Thriller, Annie, Beat It, Billy Jean, Black or White and many, many more titles make his catalog of hits one that very few on the planet can say they do not recognize.

His sense of fashion was unrivaled and outrageous at the time, and many thought it was a phase he would “phase-out” in time. Not so! This star kept his look until the end, with dark sunglasses by Ray Ban, Dior and Versace, Jackson kept himself semi-secluded from the paparazzi. With short, black pants, white socks and dress shoes, he looked always ready to dance, and always ready to smile.
