Yesterday, the whole BurdaStyle office was in shock. It seemed so strange that the King of Pop would be gone so soon. Though his life was plagued with controversy, Michael Jackson has had an undeniable influence on culture, music, and style. Michael Jackson singlehandedly popularized aviator glasses, leather jackets, gloves, and his signature white socks. He resisted fads, sticking to his own edgy and unique take on fashion. Most of us in the office grew up listening to and watching Michael Jackson, and like the rest of the world, we’re still in shock. Rest in peace Michael! We’ll miss you.

The man was an enigma, the artist a genius. That’s how he should be remembered. I hope his children will be well taken care of. Rest in peace, Michael.

I will remember Michael for his contribution to the music industry, his quiet inobtrusive nature, his love for his fans, being a good father to his children .. he was never front and center rising up against anything controversial, he didn’t speak unkindly of anyone yet people constantly did so about him .. the fact that he was a bit eccentric and made a different fashion statement doesn’t take away from who he was and the impact he has left on the world … rest in peace Michael, you were a true genuis and will be missed by many like me, who only knew you through your music ….

He was a genuis, yet also a tragic figure. May he find the peace in the world of spirit, that eluded him in earthly life.
