If Perez Hilton can have a clothing line, then why can't the King of Pop have one too? That's right, Michael Jackson is collaborating with Christian Audigier, the designer of the popular Ed Hardy label on a collection that will soon be available at L.A. boutique, Kitson.
Knowing Michale Jackson's love of gloves, sequins, and red leather jackets, it would be very interesting to see how the line shapes up. At the very least, the surgical masks will be big in Japan:
