The world stopped when news broke that global pop icon and renowned entertainer Michael Jackson had passed on June 25, 2009. Jackson captivated people of all ages with his sharp dance moves and smooth voice. His elaborately detailed performance ensembles have become equally iconic in their own right. From the signature sequined white glove to the all-red leather getup seen in "Thriller," Jackson kept all eyes on him throughout his four-decade long career. He inspired countless artists and fashion designers such as Christophe Decarnin, who paid homage to Jackson in his spring and fall 2009 collections for French fashion house Balmain with band jackets and blindingly sparkly knits similar to those worn in the "Rock With You" music video. The King of Pop will live on forever in the music he left behind and his influential style will always be remembered.
