When I heard the news that pop icon George Michael passed away yesterday I was really sad. Not only was he amazingly talented, he made the world examine their prejudices and changed how many people viewed Gay Men. While his life was not free of scandal or tabloid fodder, he will be remembered by me for his amazing music and contributions to Fashion.

I was born in 1985, and consider myself a 90's kid. So I remember when MTV played music videos all day. Unlike other videos of the time where the artist was the star and women were merely arm candy. George Michael videos showed beautiful, confident women singing, dancing and being happy. He didn't even feel the need to be in some of them! I was greatly inspired by the fashion I saw on the small screen so I wanted to share a few of my favorite and most influential George Michael videos.

This is my favorite Fashion Video. It was directed by fashion designer Thierry Mugler and takes place on the runway. It features avant garde fashion and some of the most famous supermodels in the world. This was the first time I saw fashion and fantasy on the runway, and I think it was my introduction to Tyra Banks.
