The first-ever, comprehensive and authorized showcase of legendary
fashion designer Bob Mackie’s fabulous life and work, featuring
hundreds of photos and dozens of never-before-seen sketches from
his personal collection. Cher, Carol Burnett, Bette Midler, P!nk,
Tina Turner, Elton John, Liza Minnelli, Angela Lansbury, Diana
Ross, Beyoncé, RuPaul, and Madonna...what do they all have in
common? All have been dressed by Bob Mackie. For nearly six
decades, the iconic and incomparable Bob Mackie has been designing
stunning, unforgettable clothing. His unique, glamorous—sometimes
hilarious—creations have appeared on Broadway stages, TV screens,
runways, and red carpets worldwide. For his pioneering genius and
continual reinvention, he is a Tony Award and nine-time Emmy Award
winner, a three-time Oscar nominee, and recipient of the Geoffrey
Beene Lifetime Achievement Award from the Council of Fashion
Designers of America. For the first time, he has granted full
access to his archives and personal memories to the authors of this
lavish celebration of his achievements. The Art of Bob Mackie is
the first-ever comprehensive and fully authorized book showcasing
Mackie’s work, from his early days as a sketch artist for the
legendary Edith Head at Paramount to his current, cutting-edge
costumes for pop stars and line of accessible, wearable clothing
for QVC. In addition to hundreds of glorious photos and dozens of
dishy recollections from Mackie and his many muses, this gorgeous
volume features never-before-seen sketches from throughout his
prolific career, from Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday,
Mr. President” gown to Carol Burnett’s “Went with the Wind”
curtain-rod dress, to Cher’s show-stopping 1986 Oscar look. As
other designers have burst onto the scene and faded out of fashion,
Mackie has soared from success to success, always remaining
relevant because he has always been spectacularly fashion-forward.
With a foreword by Carol Burnett and an afterword by Cher, The Art
of Bob Mackie is a stunning must-have for lovers of sequins, beads,
and feathers; Broadway shows and classic television; pop music and
pop culture; and fashion with incomparable flair.
