They are from the collection of Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins, who designed his costumes for 25 years.Highlights of The Collection of Tompkins and Bush: Michael Jackson Wardrobe include a crystal-covered glove, the Scream video outfit and the helmet from the King of Pop’s 30th anniversary concert at Madison Square Gardens.Tompkins died in December. Bush, 54, who lives in Los Angeles, said: “Michael gave all of these pieces back to us. Now felt like the right time to share it with his fans.”The collection is at Getty Images Gallery until November 4. Tickets are £10 at ticketmaster.co.ukYou are not allowed to view links.

I'd absolutely love to see this expo
This brings up something that's been bugging me for some time. And that's the swarovsky crystal jacket they made a big fuss about in TII. I've not seen mention of it anywhere since and I can't believe it was featured in the movie so prominently and then nothing. :WTF:Any thoughts?
This is my favourite pic from the gallery. I was able to see some of MJ's outfits and belongings in Las Vegas last December. It was an amazing experience. There was this statue of him near the entrance of the exhibit ...... and I had my picture taken with it. I reached up and touched MJ's statue hand and someone working there who was taking my picture said "No touching!" but I just thought "I already did, teehee!"

Unfinished jacket with sleeves detached but present together with matching pants. Costume fabric is a heavy weight grey fabric covered in rows of micro Swarovski crystals. The garments additionally have hand sewn acrylic and crystal applique pieces. Label in trousers reads Zaldy with MJ crown logo".
