Smooth Criminal indeed!




Did you know, Michael Jackson had designed his own shoes for his '' Smooth Criminal '' video?!? Permitting him to do the infamous anti-gravity '' LEAN '' ...Not only a musical genius...but fashion savvy as well.

Check out the link below to better understand how this was done.

THE KING OF POP! FOREVER!


Beat it, Thriller, Billy Jean, Bad...... just some of the many hits that Legend & Music Icon Michael Jackson has gifted us with throughout the many years of his stellar career!

It was hard to swallow the emotions we, and the rest of the world had and will continue to have in dealing with such a tragic untimely loss. But rather than to morn his passing, we'd like to celebrate his life and career as one of the most influential artists of our time.

We have been receiving a tremendous amount of e-mails and requests on the MM_Wacko tee shirt from the Music Never Dies series we launched two seasons ago. To us, re-releasing this product would not feel right, instead we'd like to consider this piece as officially retired from print, and for whomever was lucky enough to have purchased it at the time, enjoy!

Michael Jackson not only influenced the music industry, but he played a big role in revolutionizing fashion as well! We here at Malicious Manor are extremely honored and humbled to have had the opportunity in creating such a piece.

For all those who remember practicing that Moon Walk until you had holes in your socks......this one's for you!

We chose Smooth Criminal as a tribute to MJ.........Smooth as always.....Criminal because he stole our Hearts! King of Pop Forever.

TIM WALKER...twisted photos that tell a beautiful story...

We at MALICIOUS MANOR place huge amounts of time and research in our seasonal campaigns.
These are religiously produced and directed to ensure that we capture the feeling and philosophy of the brand and the featured collection in every single shot and execution.
Through the research that was done for the up-coming FW09 campaign, one particular grouping of art really stood out from the bunch. These is the work of British photographer Tim Walker.
"Extravagant staging and romantic motifs characterize his unmistakable style."


Made popular from his many workings with VOGUE, we strongly recommend you check out his latest publication.

A STAR IS BORN.......

Ever wonder how a unique MALICIOUS MANOR garment comes to life?

Each piece is specially washed and individually hand crafted. Each style comes to life from a hand sketched artwork.

The video below shows one of the final stages. The point where the ideas become an MM product.

Enjoy!!
