IMO this is another attempt by the brothers to make money on Michael's legacy.
Firstly, they call the fashion line J5, but they intend to produce jackets that Michael made famous/iconic when he was a solo performer! Secondly, it seems they have no intention of acknowledging the original designers.
Jackie says he didn't think of this project as a tribute to Michael in the beginning - that's because he was only thinking of cashing in! He also says he's been wanting to do this for a long time. In other words, now that Michael is dead, he can steal Michael's style! Sickening and pathetic!!!

Yikes! Too bad that you're upset about it but it's understandable. I don't agree either about calling it the J5 clothing line. It has absolutely nothing to do with the J5.
Michael had a number of projects he was working on before the 2005 trial, including a clothing line. One good thing is their line is in partnership with his estate, so the children will benefit from sales too. I'm happy about it and plan to buy a t-shirt at least.

Oh cool! I loved the Billy Jean suit but don't know if that would be included. I bet the jackets will be really big in Europe, and who knows? Maybe a new MJ trend will start up in the US!
