lovelovelovelovelovelove the show!!!

It looks like he really tried to strip everything back, doesn't it? From using one simple song (though a few renditions) a plain brown paper set, the minimal but gorgeous center piece, no celebrities, few big models, the anonymous girls, the little bow at the end rather than a finale parade.
It was totally vintage MJ, as Spike said. I saw a few coats that reminded me of Vuitton fall '06, but the aesthetic overall was more akin to his work just before that season.
The whole "Over the Rainbow"/dust storm/great depression references work perfectly with the economy right now, and the sequins were used pretty tastefully.
Colors! The putty/brown/beige mix was great and understated. And the minimalism just added to it.

The whole presentation, in my opinion, was somewhat of an ode to the Stock Market crash of 1929 and the resulting Great Depression; and perhaps the length of skirts with a modern twist ala Depression of 1893 in the US. Or maybe I'm just reading too much into the whole show.
