As Michael Jackson prepared for his final This Is It tour, friends on set say the pop star was never better. “He’s still a terrific dancer,” says costume designer Dennis Tompkins, who worked with Michael Bush to create an “over the top” wardrobe for the tour. On his final night of rehearsal, Jackson “was doing the moonwalk. Everything!” says Bush. “He did the whole show full out at performance level. He was like, ‘When are we going to London? Let’s go. I’m ready.’” He was also on a creative high. “Working with Michael for 25 years we had never seen his creativity at this level,” says Bush. “It was like where is this coming from? I get goose bumps thinking about what this visual was going to look like.” Though the show won’t go on, Bush and Tompkins gave PEOPLE an exclusive look at just that. Here’s an inside look at what you might have seen. –Charlotte Triggs
Michael Jackson为This It It Tour作预备,朋友皆说这位流行音乐明星未曾是這麼好的。「他仍然是一位妙极舞蹈家」, 服装设计师Dennis Tompkins说,与Michael Bush为Tour一起创作一个“over the top”的衣橱。在彩排的最后一夜,Bush说Michael正做着Moonwalk及其一切。「他充分地在表演水平上完成整个演出。他就像说,『我们何时到伦敦?我们去!我准备好』」。他的创造力也十分高。「与Michael共事的25年间我们未曾见过他的创造力去到这么高的水平,Bush说。「这就像究竟这是哪儿来的?当我在想这些视觉图将会怎样我感到鸡皮疙瘩」。虽然演出不会继续,Bush和Tompkins给PEOPLE看这些设计图唯一的一眼。这些可能对你来说可能就像已看过。
1. A THRILLING JACKET: Costumers Michael Bush and Dennis Tompkins re-created Jackson’s iconic looks for each of the 26 songs he was to perform, but the singer asked, “How can we take it to the next level?” Bush recalls. The solution? Fiber-optic lights sewn onto his red leather “Thriller” jacket, for a surprise light show timed to the music.
1. 一件Thriller外套:设计师Michael Bush及Dennis Tompkins重新创作Michael将会表演的26首歌曲的造型,但Michael问,「我们如何能把它提升到更高的层次?」Bush回忆。答案?在红色皮制的Thriller外套缝上光导纤维,在音乐的某段时间便会有令人惊喜的光发出。
2. OLD FAVES: Jackson was going to back his signature crystal glove and socks, which caught the light — and assured that even fans in the back could see him dance. “He was so excited to perform,”says Bush.
2. 喜爱的旧事物:Michael打算将会继续沿用他的象征式水晶手套及袜子,并会发出光芒-碓保即使坐在后面的歌迷也能看见他在跳舞。「他对于演出十分兴奋。」Bush说。
3. A MILITARY SALUTE: For the star’s rendition of “I Just Can’t Stop Loving You,” Bush and Tompkins created a “regimented, military” look.
3. 军事致敬:这位巨星演绎“I Just Can’t Stop Loving You”时, Bush及Tompkins创作了一个「管辖的(?!),军事的」造型。
4. BELTS AND WHISTLES: Tompkins had to make sure items like this jeweled belt would fit Jackson’s slight 27 3/4 inch waist, but says his weight was not an issue: “He was a bit smaller, but he was always thin.”
4.腰带及口哨:Tompkins必须碓定这些对象如这被镶上宝石的腰带会适合Michael那纤幼的27 3/4吋的腰部,但他说Michael的重量并不是问题:「他是有点儿细小,但经常地瘦」。
5. MAJOR DANCE MOVES: Jackson’s new Billie Jean suit held 7.5 lbs. of Swarovski crystals and 60 lights, so the star made sure he could do a spin before signing off. “The dance came first; costumes were secondary,” says Bush. “And his moves were sharper than ever.”
5.主要的舞步:Michael最新的Billie Jean服装重7.5磅,有Swarovski水晶及60光(?!),因此这位巨星能碓定他能在唱完前做出旋转动作。「舞蹈是最重要,服装是其次」Bush说。「他的舞步比之前的更要锐利(Sharper)。」 |
