Remember his red jacket with the zippers?  It was everywhere in the mid 1980′s.  I convinced my mom to get my little brother (who was a preschooler at the time) one because it was just so cute to see it on a little guy.  I don’t think my brother remembers it now; he probably didn’t realize it at the time what it was!

Well, that’s my story about Michael Jackson’s zipper jacket.  Almost everyone I meet has some sort of story to tell about that jacket.  We invite you to share your story if you do.



So did Michael Jackson have a big  impact on fashion?  To refresh your memory, here’s an audio slide show from thestar.com showing some of his outfits from his career:  http://www.thestar.com/generic/article/657853

Also, our poll below asks who you think had the biggest fashion impact in the 1980′s.  We would love your input!
