Life and Style magazine is reporting that Michael Jackson is teaming up with Christian Audigier to collaborate and design a new line of clothing together … cuz, you know, Christian Audigier’s usual designs aren’t quite gaudy enough:

Michael Jackson, 49, whose unique fashion sense ranges from sequined gloves to surgical masks, is working on a new clothing line with Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier. “It’s still in the developing stages, but it’s going to be big,” an insider tells Life & Style. “This will be a major comeback for Michael. He’s dedicating a lot of his time and money to this venture.”

Dear Gods, this line of clothing will be absolutely and gloriously hideous! I must admit, there are some Ed Hardy and Christian Audigier designs that I *kinda* like … not all of it, but some of the stuff is kitschy enough to look good … but I’m not counting on anything from the Michael Jackson collection to fall into this category. Alls I know is that they better be bringing back the sequined glove — at least! 80’s retro is so hot right now (as you may have noticed with all the neon stuff popping up everywhere), I think it’s time to rock the sequined glove and red leather jacket covered in zippers again … who’s with me? Cuz, if no one else is with me, then I’ll be the only fool wearing this shizz … me and Michael Jackson ;) [Source]
