On Thursday, June 25th fashion lost two style icons: Michael Jackson of the military jackets, flood pants, and glittering gloves; and Farrah Fawcett of the famously tousled layers of blond bedhead. By now you've prolly read all the obits attempting to sum up 50 and 62 years, respectively, of life, love, talent, success, scandal, heartbreak, disappointment, and hope into one to three pages of text, so we'll just say this: they had a lot of haters, but they had a lot of sartorial imitators too and thanks to their style disciples (Kanye, Beyonce, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Paris Hilton, and Jessica Simpson have been known to rock a military style jacket, sequins jacket, fashion glove and feathered 'do) they won't be forgotten.

Chris Brown (in 2006) and Beyonce (2008) channeled Michael's look in separate World Music Awards performances; Paris Hilton rocked Farrah's famous feathered style at the 2004 Teen Choice Awards.
