King Of Style

Consigliato a tutti i fans del Re. Bellissimo libro scritto con amore e delicatezza. Descrive la nascita dei costumi di Michael, insieme alla storia della loro amicizia e uno sguardo sulla personalità di Michael. Molto interessante, commovente la parte finale. Bellissime foto. Ottima qualità di stampa.

マイケルの専属衣装係だったマイケル・ブッシュ氏の著作。ツアーやフォトシュートでおなじみのあの衣装、この衣装が大判カラー写真で見られ、制作にまつわる逸話や普段のマイケルの様子などを読むことができます。ぜひ日本語でも出してほしいですが、写真集として見るだけでも価値はあると思います。刊行当時、スカイツリーの衣装展でブッシュ氏にサインしてもらった本もありますが、それは保存用にして、今回は読む用での購入です。

Excelente libro, magnifica calidad

a very nice book with wonderfuö pictures and well written. I give 4/5 stars because it's maybe not that much mainstream and very detailed (fashion and making creation michaels costumes). So the book isn't a book for everyone, but a very good book for every MJ fan! Michael Bush was a loyal and long lasting friend of MJ and it's really a pleasure to see a positive and truthful book about MJ and how things were done behind the scenes. A good book, not only focusing on rumours or alligations,but putting more focuse on the hard work MJ and his crew have done and the talent,creativity and expertise MJ (as an artist) had.

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.
