Dressing Michael Jackson: Behind the Seams of a Fashion Icon is a fascinating look at the intersection of music and fashion, as well as an homage to Michael Jackson’s brilliant fusing of costume, personality, and performance to create his iconic image. This is the first art-driven book about the costumes, apparel, shoes, and accessories worn by Michael Jackson, including hundreds of lavish photographs and a behind-the-scenes look into the process of collaborating with him on the making of his wardrobe, written by his longtime costume designer Michael Bush.

“He didn't believe in the word ‘can't.’ If a little boy from Gary, Indiana, the seventh child in a family of nine children, could teach himself to dance in a pair of ordinary shoes, then anything is possible.”
The King of Style charts the journey of Michael Jackson with his exclusive fashion designers Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins. It's very rare to find such an intimate yet informative book about Michael that doesn't include some dirt or terrible commentaries. This one is perfect, every thing about it is exquisite starting from the majestic book cover to the content. It's filled with plethora of color photographs of Michael's clothing, along with Bush's thoughts, commentaries and entertaining reminiscences.
What makes this book a precious and a must read is the plentiful of information and anecdotes, which show us another side of Michael that was never explored before. Michael did not just wear random nicely made clothes, no. He with the help of his team (Dennis and Bush) created a “wearable art”. So, to study him, one must study the meaning behind his fashion.
Also, this book is suitable for analyzers (and of course fashion theorists as well) because it gives a delineation on nearly every outfit and that is quite helpful to use and cite in writing essays/studies/reflections or even books on Michael. I actually find this side of Michael as not explored enough, can I also add the fact that there's no proper book on Michael Jackson as a dance(r)? These two sides of Michael I hope and I encourage many people (authors and academics) to focus on more.
I put the book into test to see if after reading it, I've learned something new or not and man did it work! So, I've decided to watch the Dangerous World Tour in Bremen and I've caught myself looking at his performance in a new enchanting way! For instance, when Michael put his hand(s) in his pocket(s), I quickly knew to focus on his footwork because that's what he wanted us to notice at that moment. That's what Bush offers us: he tells us exactly what Michael wanted us to see/notice from his performances and appearances, what we might've missed and it gives a fresh, more meticulous perspective on Michael's outfits.
There are generous bonuses: quick information on some of the (wild) outfits that Michael asked for to be made for him but he never tried on. Michael's measurements and how he managed to create an illusion of bigger-than-life appearance. There's a photo of a present from Michael's children (Prince & Paris) to him for Father's Day. Did I mention that there are plenty of splendid HQ color photographs? There. I mentioned it again. However, the last chapter which consists of the clothing they made for This Is It that some were not even fully finished yet is absolutely heartbreaking. Although the clothes are quite sexy (duh!) but seeing them half-completed and Michael's plans for his new tour is never easy to read without shedding at least a tear or two.
Another thing that made this book perfect is that the focus is solely on Michael & his fashion. There's no mention of tabloids, the false allegations, or any disheartening events. And I know from an experience how uncommon this is in the world of Michael Jackson's books. In fact, when it's not educational (in the best sense of the word), this book is highly amusing.
“The fact that his clothes could move and make sounds was Michael's favorite part of wearing them. He was fascinated by zippers for this reason. Everyone recognizes the sound a zipper makes, but only one person that I know of appreciated it so much he could find entertainment value in it. Michael had an unconscious habit of fiddling with his zipper. Most times he would sit in the back of the car and pull it up and down, making the zip-zip sound, alternating it like a DJ scratching a record. Listening to it for an entire car ride, along with his cracking of the four pieces of Bazooka bubble gum he’d pop in his mouth and chew at one time, could be enough to drive you crazy.
Zip-zip. Chew-chew. For hours at a time. Sometimes our car rides sounded like a family road trip gone bad: “Michael,” I'd snap, “you sound like a cow comin’ in from a barnyard.” He thought this throw back to my Appalachian country roots was hysterical. He'd laugh so I could see the wad of gum stretched between his back teeth, then say something deliberately annoying, like, “Am I bothering you?” and back he’d go to his zip-zip, chew-chew routine. But even as he egged me on, like a little brother to an older sibling, he really wasn't bothering me, because I knew how much he was enjoying himself.”
Bush wrote about how The Simpsons time for Michael was sacred and he wouldn't miss it for any thing, everything can wait for 30 minutes. Another humorous story is about Remember the Time and how Michael was supposed to wear a headdress which Michael replied to with a no way but when Michael felt that they will make him wear it, he did the typical Michael which I'm not going to spoil it here, read it for yourself. These delightful snippets are only a few of many that Bush shares in his book.
Bush portrays Michael as the genius he truly was throughout the book, “Michael thought beyond the parameters of what you and I could imagine only in our wildest dreams. Sometimes it was downright scary; being in the presence of such genius meant I didn't know what was next.” Not only an artist but an inventor.....a mentor that gave tasks and riddles to his students. He believed in their abilities and didn't stop pushing them both to reach their highest potentials. He sent them on trips to discover new things, he worked on molding their creativity to a whole new level which is why Bush revealed at the end of the book that they were in shock when Michael left for Bahrain (in 2005) and they had to work with others and found it hard to cope with people who were not even close to the perfectionist they worked with.
“To us, Michael was a teacher who changed our professional lives in ways we never expected. The depth and complexities of our creations often surprised us—and that was because Michael was our muse. His philosophy was to always try something new, to make people do a double take. His philosophy became our own. He taught us to expect change and to look for laughter and humor in every day.”
This is why I think it is highly important for fans, authors and academics alike to own, read, study and use this book because there are many details to Michael's outfits than you think you know and by studying one's clothes is to understand his perspective and the messages he was trying to send. And we all know how Michael enjoyed sublime messages, and what he enjoyed more than all is to know people are paying attention. Michael was and still is the king and in The King of Style he is portrayed as just that.
Bottom line, this book is a gem.
If you enjoy books that are written by people that worked with Michael then I recommend you to read the following:
1- Michael Jackson: In Search Of Neverland
2- Maker of Dreams: Creating Michael Jackson's "Neverland Valley Park"
3- In the Studio with Michael Jackson

This book is awesome! Written by Michael Jackson's fashion designer, it was great to see the many outfits worn by the King of Pop up close and in fine detail. There's also a ton of personal stories in there, many of them funny...a story about nearly every outfit. Michael really dared Bush and his partner Tompkins to push the limits and make the impossible possible when it came to his costumes. With hard work and dedication they achieved great success, which only a true genius could inspire them to achieve. They made the magic happen. The book is written with great care. You can tell Bush had a very close relationship with Michael. It's touching. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and wish it didn't have to end.

Michael's clothes are so easily recognized. It was interesting to know why he chose to wear the pieces & what went into making them. I love how every detail put into the clothing was meant to enhance his performance, especially his dancing. I really miss Michael & this book was great look into his life.

It took me so long to finish because I didn’t want it to end. Thank you Mr. Bush. Such a fine gift for MJ fans indeed.

Amazing book. It has the perfect amount of details to illustrate Michael's public & private persona and I feel like I understand Michael on a whole new level just through the exploration of his clothes! I actually began to cry when I started reading the last part of the book where it goes over a little of the last day of MJ's life (June 25, 2009). And I started crying even harder when I finally learned of what MJ wears in his burial as it is the perfect set of clothes for him. It's who he is. And I don't think anyone could have chosen anything better.

Do you remember how you spent hours sewing sequins onto a white material glove you bought in a store, wondering how the *the* glove was made? Or how you did the leg kick and ended up chasing your black Loafer, asking yourself what was it that HIS Loafers had, that prevented them from slipping off during all those insanely energetic moves? Or how you were running late because you spent too much time in your walk-in wardrobe, and wondered how Mr. Magic was able to change within seconds between the songs?
I too remember asking myself those questions – but it was before “The King of Style: Dressing Michael Jackson” satisfied my seemingly bottomless curiosity and showed me (inside out!) how the clothing magic was made.
This book about clothes could be a model itself: it is simply a feast for the eyes. Quite weighty (after all it is chalk coated paper that ensures pristine quality of the pictures inside) and big (slightly reduced B4 format), the book is a grand showpiece. The dustcover is a picture of a single, unmistakable, trademark item: Michael Jackson’s black leather military jacket for the opening of the Bad World Tour: the epitome of iconic. Static and smoothed, as if showing off its intricate details, the jacket seems to be radiating with the stored energy of its owner, which once electrified us all. But what is beneath it, on the hardcover of the book, is a major surprise: a photo of the little containers with beads, badges, pins, all those glittery and shiny embellishments that would make the future icing of jackets, stylized royal badges and other accessories that turned heads. By this juxtaposition of the pictures on the dustcover and the hardcover, the book seems to be making a promise: “There is a lot going on behind of what you see as a complete item of clothing, especially a legendary one – and we are going to delve into the detail.” And I am sure books talk not only to editors, as myself.
“The King of Style…”, apart from being a reminder of Michael Jackson’s perfectionism that extended to the field of fashion, is yet another confirmation that the King of Pop was a visual artist on a par with being a musical artist. It is a story about extraordinary inspirations – or about an extraordinary mind that saw the potential in ordinary things. It is also the story of combining contradictions: two designers in a little studio creating fashion classics for arguably the most famous person on the planet, varying, chameleonic outfits while staying consistent with the image, creating military or fancy clothes that are comfortable and stretchy enough to dance in them. The details are not to be spoiled here, everybody deserves their moment (which, I can guarantee, will prolong to “I don’t care what time it is”) with this book and its stories – accessible and fascinating even for those who are not best friends with needle and thread.
But most important, it is the story about what Michael Jackson used to call “the greatest gift of all”. What does it mean? Brad Sundberg, Michael’s sound engineer, once recalled a talk between Michael and Brian Vibberts. They were discussing what love is all about. Michael then told Brian that if one could inspire someone to do their best and to be their best, that was the greatest gift one could give. And this is exactly what the story presented by Michael Bush tells us. Every bold idea that MJ came up with was accompanied by “I know you can do this for me, Bush.” It was more than just an order for another item of clothing – it was essentially a prompt for the other person to do their best. As Bush tells us, not only had this sort of affirmation coming from the King of Pop himself pushed him to create clothes he had never dreamed of creating, but also made him literally an inventor, with his own patent.
What I appreciated in particular was the author’s decision to skip the period we all wish we could forget: the trial. Although in 2012, when the book was published, neither the author, nor the fans could imagine how far the character assassination of Michael Jackson can go, the decision to leave out the ever-present matter of allegations was the best one. “The King of Style…” is immersive and puts the focus where it belongs.
Knowing how much attention MJ paid to sustaining the mystique and the illusion, one may wonder whether the revealing of technicalities in this book spoils the “magic”. I did wonder, too. However, a popular saying goes: who has magic needs no tricks. Michael Bush suggested the same thing when he wrote: “He [Michael] had magic because he truly believed it. He didn’t believe in can’t or won’t.” His magic lives on. Proof? I was perfectly aware of the technical side of performing the lean in front of a live audience when I went to see “Thriller Live” three years ago in Wrocław. Then “Smooth Criminal” came, the dimming of lights, the whole group of dancers went on to defy gravity and I lost my mind all over again.

When I initially discovered this book, I was overcome with an intense desire to possess it as quickly as possible for several reasons. The first being my deep interest in all things concerning Michael Jackson's life and artistry, the second being my lack of knowledge on the inspiration and making of his outfits. I went into reading this book thinking it would be very technical and detached - which would not have been a disappointment either- but finished it in tears.
This is an incredible dedication to a fascinating aspect of Michael Jackson that is so often skimmed over, presented by Michael Bush with the deepest respect. Although not a storyteller, he achieves the perfect combination of technical instruction and anecdotes, revealing only what is relevant. It is clear why Bush and Tompkins gained such a level of trust and respect from the artist, through their outstanding understandings of fashion as a whole and their determination to bring his otherworldly concepts to life at any cost.
The final section of the book, detailing how their world came to a standstill, mentioning half-finished outfits and the claustrophobia of the awful event, is the most emotional. Reading about the determination to get his final resting outfit just right made me realise the extent of their love and respect for him, showing both their talent and affection in the most eloquent and understated way. Many others would have used these intimate experiences to their advantage, but it is the simple way in which Bush simply mentions what a honour it was to support a friend in both their life on earth and in the afterlife (with no more detail) that confirms that this is book written respectfully and with no underlying bad intentions.

To a fashion lover, it’s got a lot to enjoy and gaze at. To an aspiring fashion designer, it’s got a few golden anecdotes and advice to inspire you, and even some surprisingly included “making of the magic” pictures for those of us who always want to know “how”. To a coffee table, it’s got much to flick through and pique interest to the casual eye. To a Michael Jackson fan, it’s got plenty of personal anecdotes, a taste of Michael behind the scenes, and dozens of beautiful, glossy pictures to enjoy time and again. I found myself laughing at times (“you know he’s got that thing on his head”) and the brief, but touching and tasteful, chapter on Michael’s final outfit might have started a tear in my eye. Iconic fashion, told from one of the men responsible for it.

Amazing book! Saw this in the gift shop at the MJ Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas and my wife bought it for me for my birthday on Amazon for a better price. As a HUUUUGE MJ fan, Ive always appreciate his unique sense of style. So to hear it from the perspective of Mr. Bush, the man who dressed the King himself, was a real treat. This book gave deep insight into what MJ liked and the depths of creativity and imagination Michael B. and Dennis were able to tap into. The ending had me in TEARS!
This book is a great read and the pictures are wonderful. There were so many things MJ would do or wear I wondered what it meant. It was all answered in here! Made me go back and look at all the old MJ tour videos I watched growing up.
Great read! Long live MJ! King of Pop!

I've been a huge fan of Michael Jackson since I was a child and his wonderful artistry in music, dance, story telling etc continues to live on. I've been very careful about reading books about MJ due to biased and trashy views that seem to attack him rather than focus on his musical contribution to the world, but I knew that I had to get this book.
The book itself is so beautiful and something that we know MJ would've loved to own & read! The photos are so beautiful and of high quality. The stories and detailed information is a must-read! Once you remove the elegant book jacket, the front cover & back cover is just beautiful!
Michael Bush is a longtime friend and designer of MJ for 25 years, and I knew better to trust someone that knew MJ from the inside than those who claim that they "really" know him after just few interviews. Like MJ's music and his creative work, I was mesmerized by Bush's stories and detailed explanations behind MJ's wardrobes. I could tell just how close Bush and (Bush's partner & other designer) Tompkins were to MJ, who were inspired by MJ to think outside of the box to accommodate the King of Pop's imaginative creations of fashion. There were so many things (not going to spoil it) that surprised me and even made me laugh at times because of the fun & insightful stories that Bush would share about MJ.
MJ was a perfectionist, but he was also very, very creative. Anyone that worked with MJ could see that and understand that he was heavily invested in making sure that his ideas and creativity came to life. Beyond his music and his story-telling, Bush & Tompkins understood that. They worked long hours making sure that their craftsmanship was up to MJ's standards, but it also inspired them to understand that fashion has its own way of storytelling and they made sure to put in every single detail that showed off MJ's creativity in his clothes as well.
MJ is a humble and caring person, there were moments in this book where I smiled so hard that I almost cried. He gave credit where it was due and there's so many reasons why Bush & Tomkins were chosen by MJ to work for him, and how Bush and Tompkins felt the same way.
Watching MJ's concerts, I noticed Michael Bush going on stage to help MJ quickly change and just by that alone, you can tell that MJ trusted him and as a fan, I felt the same about Bush and Tompkins who side by side to worked tirelessly put MJ's creativity out there.
At the end, Bush says this, "My Biggest thanks go to all of Michael Jackson's fan. This book has always been intended to be yours and now it is."
I suggest all MJ fans to purchase this book, it's definitely a work of art on its own.

This is a beautiful book full of gorgeous pictures. Jackson had a distinctive style and Michael Bush was critical to the execution of this style beginning with Jackson's "Bad" tour. He was with him to the end and had done considerable work for the This is It concerts. This book is full of interesting stories about Jackson's clothes for example "CTE" means nothing. These letters were placed on epaulets on some of his shirts. Why? To create mystery and fuel interest.

I loved this book from beginning to end.
A wonderful read that gives so much insight into the talent and perfectionism of both Michael Jackson and these two amazing designers and creators of his fashion over the years.
I am so happy to read about your friendship and your care of Michael especially when he has put up with so much crap in his life.
I cried at the end it was so moving. Thank you.

This is such an interesting book on working with Michael Jackson to create his unique style. It's especially exciting to hear the backstories behind some of the most famous outfits and what was done with them after Michael wore them. Highly recommend this book!

The foreword have been written by John Branca;what do you want me to think about that?
Do I regret to have bought the book?
Not really,I enjoyed it at the beginning,but I knew later from Karen Faye that Michael Bush and Denis Thomkins did some really bad stuff with Michael's clothes,they were not as faithful as the book try to convince us,unfortunately!
5 stars ONLY for the illustrations.
