Costume and fashion designer Bob Mackie is a nine-time Emmy Award winner and Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award (CFDA) recipient, and he has three Oscar nominations.
Most recently he received a 2019 Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, and Outer Critics Circle Award for his work on The Cher Show. His Broadway credits include Moon Over Buffalo and Putting It Together, starring Carol Burnett, Best Little Whorehouse Goes Public, Minelli on Minelli, Lorelei with Carol Channing, and On the Town with Bernadette Peters and Phyllis Newman. Broadway on television: Once Upon a Mattress starring Carol Burnett, Gypsy starring Bette Midler, Carousel, Brigadoon, Of Thee I Sing, and Kismet.
His inventive and memorable designs have helped raise entertainers like Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Elton John, Ann-Margret, Bernadette Peters, Mitzi Gaynor, Carol Burnett, Bette Midler, Pink, and Cher to iconic status both onscreen and off.
The lot includes two designs by Mackie:
- a beautiful white crepe, one-shouldered gown with an elaborate beaded parrot at the shoulder with an accompanying tropical silk print wrap with long white fringe from his Spring 2002 Collection, in sample size; and
- an all-over beaded and embroidered jacket from his Las Vegas Collection—Spring 1990, featuring signature Mackie beading and vibrant design elements inspired by games of chance—playing cards, dice, slot machine, and roulette wheel (fit size: 6-8).
