Unmistakably Mackie Book

Ask anyone what Cher wore to the Academy Awards in 1985 and they will describe the spider-woman headdress, exposed midriff, and the gaping mouths on people's faces when she made her legendary entrance (all the better to snatch the Oscar, my dears). Ask about Carol Burnett's classic "Gone With the Wind" dress and they'll laugh when they recall this green velvet Southern Belle costume made from drapes-with the curtain rod still attached. Cleverly outrageous, these are just two of the many memorable gowns that sprung from the mind of the incomparable fashion designer Bob Mackie. Mackie has dressed celebrities including Elton John, Bette Midler, Diana Ross, and RuPaul; designed for Broadway, Las Vegas, operas, and ballets; and currently runs a couture business with licenses for fragrance, accessories, eyewear, suits, furs, home furnishings, and collectible Barbie dolls. This sensational book is entertainment at its finest, just like a Mackie ensemble. In addition to the classic photographs of marvelously Mackie-clad stars of the last three decades, glorious gatefolds of specially-commissioned color photos by Gideon Lewin trumpet Mackie's exceptional achievements. "Unmistakably Mackie" is as unforgettable as his designs.Read More
