ORIGINAL MICHAEL JACKSON FEDORA Signed in white "Love Michael Jackson" The artist's name is printed inside the fedora 31 x 16 cm Provenance: Italian private collection Michael Jackson's clothing style is a kaleidoscope of different eras and directions, just like his music. His love for classic suits and fedoras was born under the influence of Fred Astaire, the US actor and dancer whom the young Michael Jackson adored. From 1983, a black fedora became an indispensable part of his outfit. He wore such hats both on stage and in his private life, so the fedora became as defining as his equally legendary moonwalk. Although Jackson was never associated with the fashion world, he quickly became a style icon: his performances inspire singers and fashion designers to this day.
