On January 25, 2008, the International Fashion Week took place in Amsterdam (Netherlands). The show of the uprising fashion designer Sherida Augustin stood completely under the sign of the best selling artist of all times: Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson’s influence on the new generation is bigger than Justin Timberlake’s, Ne-Yo’s and Usher and it is more visible than ever. His unique style already had a great influence on the trends in ’80s fashion.

And now it is the basis for Sherida Augustin’s new collection. The young designer was influenced by Michael Jackson’s glittering jackets and other typical trademarks. And she accompanied her fashion show with MJ tunes.

In her third collection, Sherida gives her own twist on the Jackson style from the 80s.

“I worked from an angled perspective, what has a futuristic influence. Caps that have been made angular, and a lot of triangles as shapes are worked into the collection.”

Next to the obvious Michael Jackson jackets, you could also see a lot of asymmetrical aspects in the collection, which consisted mostly of silk, wool, and leather. Sherida combined wide-flowing streetwear items with very tight tios, jeans, and leggings and there was even a pair of “high water” pants in King of Pop style. The main colour was an electric blue in combination with a lot of glitter and white accents. The styling was rounded off with typical Michael Jackson accents like white socks and gloves, the white tape around the fingertips, and the hat - but worked in Sherida’s own style into a cap.
