One more proof for me that he could not have been on drugs. Nobody can do everything that he did and not be in his right mind. He did a great job on the designs too. Good job MJ!
Wow. Very interesting. Thanks for finding this.
According to an online article from ABC News dated July 2009: "The month before his death, Michael Jackson helped design much of a 300-piece clothing and merchandise line, which features everything from jackets and tote bags to puzzles and even a teacup set."

"He wanted something new, different, fun and innovative." Among the retailers that will carry the new Jackson merchandise are Target, Hot Topic , Spencer's Gifts and JC Penney, according to Bravado, Universal Music Group's merchandising arm. A Target spokesman said the discount chain will begin selling Jackson T-shirts at select locations later this month. Jackson, together with Bravado CEO Tom Bennett, sketched out ideas for the line in May during a brainstorming session at Jackson's rented Holmby Hills mansion in California. At a later meeting, when Jackson saw the designs for the merchandise prototypes, "he got so excited, so enthusiastic, he did a little dance move at the end," Bennett told the Los Angeles Times. Some of the items -- including a sleep mask with a drawing of Michael Jackson's eyes, a "Who's Bad" belt buckle, logo-emblazoned socks, and a concert T-shirt that reads "King of Pop" and "O2 2009" -- are already available online at a Web site hosted by Bravado. Prices range from $75 for a set of four wine glasses to $25 for the sleep mask. ************************************************************************************************Bravado is a subsidiary of Universal Music Group.Bravado's website:You are not allowed to view links.

The late Michael Jackson's clothing line might make it to the racks according to a Today Show interview with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier. In his final days, Jackson and Audigier negotiated a deal, with the pop singer approving hundreds of sketches, from printed t-shirts to umbrellas to rhinestone gloves and socks. The Jackson Jacket, originally priced as $250, could now go for twice as much.WATCH:
