The Philip Treacy Spring 2013 collection debuted London Fashion Week with a Michael Jackson-inspired runway collection featuring Lady Gaga as the show's opener. This is the designer's first runway collection in 13 years, who opted for a celebrity-themed collection to pay tribute to the countless celebs who sport his gear.
Arguably Treacy's biggest fan, Lady Gaga opened the show in a pink turban-inspired body dress; personally requesting to Treacy, she be a part of his runway experience. Strutting the runway were top super models in military jackets, sparkly gloves and fierce head gear. Each fascinator was curated to fit Michael Jackon's specific style -- from vintage-Jackson circa the 'Thriller' days to modern laid-back Jackson. These haute couture head pieces play off of Michael Jackson's countless music videos and pay tribute to the late star's music career.
