Michael Jackson & Christian Audigier

Surgical masks and long sequined gloves could soon become the hottest chic couture. Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier has confirmed recent whispers that he is collaborating on a new line of clothing with music legend Michael Jackson.

“It’s the merging of the King of Pop with the king of fashion. Something explosive is going to happen,” Christian tells People.

The collection will be sold exclusively at Hollywood boutique Kitson.

“Michael Jackson is an international pop icon who has had a huge following throughout his career. I think people will think it’s hip to wear his line. Through all his ups and downs people still love him. He still has a huge fan base,” says Kitson owner Fraser Ross.

Oh boy, this is a colossal flop just waiting to happen. Would anyone actually wear clothing designed by Michael Jackson?
