MJ-mania is at an all-time high following the global release of the Michael Jackson biopic, and if the film has left you trying to moonwalk everywhere, you’ll want to dance your way over to Kowloon Tong this month for a one-of-a-kind tribute to the King of Pop.
Festival Walk has just unveiled a stylish tribute to the star with the opening of the Kyubi x Michael Jackson pop-up, marking a first-ever collaboration between the homegrown fashion label and the official Michael Jackson estate in the US.
The space has been meticulously designed as an immersive experience, complete with a giant vinyl-themed installation. On the left side of the store sits an impressive display of memorabilia that looks like it’s been lifted straight from a dedicated collector’s vault. There are iconic Time magazine covers, a vast collection of records, intricate figures, along with stage photos and books documenting Jackson’s life and career.
Of course, the collaboration with Kyubi means there are plenty of fashion items to get your hands on, with nearly 20 limited-edition pieces making their Asia debut. The collection spans across 10 different themes, each one inspired by his most celebrated hits such as Thriller, Billie Jean, and Smooth Criminal. The centrepiece of this collab is the King of Pop series, which includes an exquisitely crafted cardigan and an embroidered art crewneck. Other items include vintage tees, hoodies, bomber jackets, and leather bags that reinterpret MJ’s iconic aesthetic into contemporary street style.
The pop-up is open daily at Festival Walk from now until May 29. Entry is free, though you’ll likely want to set aside some funds for the exclusive gear.
