Kanye West Channels His Inner Michael Jackson
Shamon!

Well, at least we know that *someone* may be interested in purchasing some of Michael Jackson‘s old, unwanted and tacky items that are to go on sale next month at auction … it would appear that Kanye West is very interesting in co-opting MJ‘s old “military” look as he took it upon himself to carry the Jacko fashion torch at the Alexandre Herchcovitch Fashion Show at NY Fashion Week last night … behold:


On the plus side, Kanye did get rid of that ridiculous mullet hair’do he was rockin’ at the Grammy Awards a couple of weeks ago … and I suppose one could give him snaps for his bold fashion risks. I dunno how anyone can wear a heavily ornamented jacket like this one and NOT expect to get labeled as a Michael Jackson wannabe. The look just looks silly on anyone but Michael Jackson … and on him, it the look comes off as funny — it’s lose-lose all around. I’m sure Kanye West thinks he is breaking boundaries and is pushing the fashion envelope with this outfit … personally, I just think he looks bad — and not in the good way. Ugh. Sooo horrrible.

    I respect his hustle not mad him all. What better way to make a fashion statement… His working his way to become the first black high fashion designer… Let’s watch and see

    He is good looking but copying MJ isn’t a good look for anyone!

    I take it as an homage to Michael rather than a fashion statement, but I could be wrong.

    I love that he loves Michael though! I gotta give the guy credit for his unbridled enthusiasm for music.

    He should have had a longer talk with The Man in the Mirror before he left the house like that.

    someone needs to give him some chap-stick for his ashy lips.

    I won’t really start to worry until his nose starts changing shape or his skin starts getting lighter.
