McQueen and Janet Jackson in 2008
Most would've thought that the untimely death of fashion designer Alexander McQueen would mean the end of the collection. According to Fashion Week Daily , parent company PPR who purchased 51% stake in the company in 2000, announced that McQueen will not end. The collection will be shown in Paris during the upcoming Fashion Week.
On a side not, I'm glad to see that McQueen's creativity and hard work will still be shown to during Paris Fashion Week. It's just very unfortunate that he's no longer with us to watch it all come to fruition.

Michael Jackson performing at Motown 25 Special in 1983
Michael Jackson's iconic white glove which he wore at the 1983 Motown 25 Special will be auctioned at the Hard Rock Café in New York's Times Square.
Jackson wore many gloves over the years, but this glove in particular was a modified store-bought glove covered with rhinestones. It's estimated the glove is worth between $40,000-$60,000. The glove has been in the possession of Commodores member Walter "Clyde" Orange, who received it from Jackson the night he wore it.
Jackson and Orange had an ongoing joke over the years of how Jackson denied giving him his autograph because he felt he was more famous. At the Motown 25 Special, after Jackson's memorable performance at which he unveiled his Moonwalk, he gave Orange the trademark glove instead.
