AceShowbiz - Hugo Boss is releasing a revamped version of the white suit Michael Jackson wore on the cover of his "Thriller" album.

The record, released in 1982, remains the world's best-selling album of all time, and is famous for tracks "Thriller", "Billie Jean" and "Beat It", among others.

The cover artwork is just as iconic as the music, and features a young Michael, who was 24 at the time, reclining on the floor in the white suit layered over a black zipped jacket, with a baby tiger resting on one of his knees.

Now, German label Hugo Boss will be issuing 100 suits, each one numbered, as well as three unisex T-shirts, each featuring a significant moment in the late King of Pop's career.

As well as the clothes, the luxury brand, along with Sony, has sponsored an exhibition at London's National Portrait Gallery marking what would have been the singer's 60th birthday.

Michael, whose father Joe Jackson passed away on Wednesday, June 27, died at the age of 50 in 2009 of an accidental overdose of drugs propofol and benzodiazepine.

"When the National Portrait Gallery told us that this artwork was included, it was a no-brainer for us to work with them because, on the cover (of the "Thriller" album), Michael is wearing the iconic Hugo Boss white suit," said Hjordis Kettenbach, head of global communications at Hugo Boss, according to WWD. "It's amazing to have this connection to him."

"Michael Jackson: On the Wall" runs from June 28 to October 21, before moving to Paris.

Adrien Brody, Mark Ronson and Brooklyn Beckham were among the guests at the exhibit's opening earlier this week.
