    Fashion Tribute: Michael Jackson

    by Claire

    Yesterday dancer, singer, and consummate entertainer Michael Joseph Jackson passed away:

    Michael Joseph Jackson RIP

    My fellow 80′s babies and music lovers alike are undoubtedly reeling from this information, struggling to process how someone so talented and relatively young could be gone so soon. Instead of focusing on our shock and sorrow, we at The Fashion Bomb would like to celebrate him today, and highlight the contributions he made to music, our culture, and most importantly fashion.

    You don’t have to look very far to see how much his innovative style impacted the trendsetters of today.

    From Beyoncé in her Single Ladies one glove steeze:

    Beyonce Michael Jackson One Glove

    To everyone from Rihanna and Kanye to Teyana Taylor rocking Michael Jackson inspired military jackets:

    Rihanna Michael Jackson Military

    Kanye West Teyana Taylor Military Jacket

    From young upstarts like Chris Brown taking cues from Thriller in slick red leather:

    Chris Brown Michael Jackson Red Leather Jacket

    To a bevy of stars tipping their Fedoras in a particularly MJ way on and off red carpets:

    Michael Jackson Fashion Fedora

    Meagan Good Vanessa Simmons Fedora

    Michael Jackson Fedora Diddy

    Michael Jackson’s legacy will endure in fashion, music, and beyond.

    Vintage Michael Jackson

    May he rest in peace.

    Video: Motown 25 Billie Jean by Michael Jackson

    by Claire

    I’m not sure if I was around when this debuted, but my mom had it taped on VHS (yes pre DVDs!) and I remember watching this with her:

    Michael Jackson Motown 25

    She said that when he did the moonwalk, it was the most ground breaking, amazing thing anyone had ever seen.

    Michael was a consummate artist, as he had the courage to create, and the genius to produce dances, movements, and songs that everyone loved regardless of race, culture, or age.

    What’s your favorite Michael Jackson song? Video?

    Claire’s Life: My Personal MJ Memory

    by Claire

    When I was a young bombshell, I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson. I remember dancing with my mom and brother to the Thriller album in our Living Room, loving the moment so much that I even immortalized it for the ages, proudly holding up the cover as a testament:

    Claire and Michael Jackson

    Since then, I feel like I’ve grown up with Michael.
    I remember when “Bad” debuted on NBC, watching crazed fans scream “He Waved to Me!!” on tributes, and even when “Black or White” and “Scream” came out.
    What are you fave MJ memories?

    Mail Bombs: What to Wear to a Concert, Chanel like Pistol Heels, and Wardrobe Advice

    by Claire

    For those who are yearning for our regular fare, we did solve a handful of Mail Bombs for ya!
    First it seems everyone is going to Beyonce’s concert!

    Beyonce in Concert

    Sam from Miami says, “I’ll be attending Beyonce’s concert this summer and I have no idea what to wear and what kind of look I want to go for? Every time I go to shop I ask myself should I wear heels? Flats? Sneakers? Jeans? Pants? Cute girly top? Or a graphic tee? I’m so confused can you set me up with a look i can mimic for the concert?!”
    Hey Sam! You should definitely go with flats and jeans, as you’ll most likely be standing up and dancing a lot of the night and you want to be comfortable! As for what you’ll wear on top, you can go for girly or graphic depending on your personality…but it’s Beyonce, so get some sparkle going!
    Try these:

    Jamaka says, “I am in DESPERATE need of these shoes or something similar!!! I cannot afford the Chanel version (obviously ), but I would love to have a pair of these!!! Can you please help me???!!!!!!!”

    Chanel-Pistol-Shoes-copy

    Adriana says, “No knockoffs that I could find just yet, but if a gun heel is what you’re craving, here are a couple of options way below Chanel price“:

    Lastly, Necole says, “I need your help…so here goes! Ok, I bought some denim leggings from Aldo today and I need ideas on how to wear them. I gotta stop the impulse purchases LOL!”
    Adriana says, “Congrats on the purchase! I’m a fan of leggings, and an even bigger fan of “classing them up” with bold flats, over-the-bum-tunics and tees, and smart boyfriend jackets. Here are some suggestions in that vein:”

    That does it for today!
    If we didn’t get to your question today, check back next week when we’ll be back to our normal schedule.

    Rip The Runway: Balmain vs. Zara

    by Claire

    balmain-vs-zara5

    Studded blazers seem to be all the rage since Balmain’s Spring 09 collection, but judging from their whopping price tags, it wouldn’t be too soon before the “inspiration” kicked in.  Enter Zara’s studded blazer.  Apart from the difference in texture with Balmain’s being leather and the difference in studs, they’re pretty similar.  But I must say that Zara did a pretty neat job, both with tailoring and pricing it heaps lower than its predecessor.  Too bad Zara doesn’t have an online store.  Money aside, which do you prefer?
