"SULTAN OF SEQUINS" BOB MACKIE - AMERICAN FASHION

[@ConanTheLibrarian-n5q]

The Carol Burnett "Curtains dress" is legendary.

[@carololson5030]

Absolutely my favorite. Where did he get these ideas?❤

[@eveyholmes]

I am a professional singer and met him last year ( he has a residence out here in Palm Springs, Ca.). I asked him what song did he wanted me to sing to him and he requested, Somewhere Over The Rainbow. He's a real nice man.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

That's a really sweet story

[@LannieLord]

I would have requested Cher's "I Paralyze". It was a flop song - chart-wise . But it's a GREAT song - one of Cher's BEST !! It was written by the guy who wrote most of the songs for Grease as well as Olivia Newton John's hits on "Totally Hot" in 1979.

[@rosemarymagrino772]

Sultan of sequins indeed! Boss of the Bugle beads and of course king of the curtain rod!!!

[@brandianderson287]

What an inspiration of true glamour and innovation. The fabulous one and only Bob Mackie. I think The Supers said it best in their song, My World IS Empty Without You Babe. Thank You Bob Mackie. Gorgeous Darling.

[@annechildress2721]

Been a fan for decades! Bob, you are the BEST!

[@marvinraphaelmonfort8289]

[@sewingintrifocals-alisonde7778]

Love his work! I grew up watching Carol Burnett and Cher wearing his designs on TV every Saturday night.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Love that!

[@artistinlederhosen]

and i have heard, from people he has worked with, that he is a genuinely nice guy. so much talent and humor… and a decent human being.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Why does anyone need to be an asshole. Is it really that hard to be a decent human. Good on you Bob x

[@louisgonzalez8846]

Not an ounce of arrogance about him. I think he knows that being down to earth, is more timely, than being an *******!!!!!!!

[@rondarawson6236]

[@ginamilite1256]

He was brilliant and comedic as well.amazing

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Yes he was Gina, and put the 'AMP' in Camp x

[@chalkiememe4183]

Loved this episode. I do find it hard to hear the clips due to the background music though which is a shame.

[@LillikoiSeed]

I have known who Bob Mackie was since I was five years old watching the Sonny and Cher show. Truly my favorite designer. 🦚🎆

[@loveisall5520]

I loved the Sonny and Cher show and like a bunch of other college guys thought Cher was amazing. TV was such fun then!

[@donnadees1971]

Kudos and so cool

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Thanks x

[@andyroo9381]

No one else wore Bob Mackie better than Cher.

[@msciara2222]

and Diana Ross !

[@lewiscarey1593]

And DIANA ROSS!!!!!💥💥💥​@@msciara2222

[@Surfishy888]

My mother used to make clothes and costumes for us when we were little...never having to use patterns, she could measure us and make her own patterns. I used to sew from patterns only, and pattern- inspired, hand- and machine-sewn clothing done well look sooo much better than off-the-rack just in the drape and detail if you use good material. But i used to get so frustrated in trying to make things perfect, it took the fun out of it a lot of times for me and finally gave up. I was a busy working mom who just didnt have the patience for it I guess.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Nice to hear your story.

[@janejdough2230]

A delight

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Thanks

[@zcvxs]

I remember his name in regards to club 54 costumes

[@claudiorodrigo7574]

yaaaaass kamora

[@chaparrochaparro1747]

Haaaaaaalllllllllllllllllllll!!!!♥️

[@classicalaid1]

I recall Edith Head was the one who created the Marilyn image.

[@LannieLord]

14:56 Does anyone know where I can purchase one of these CHER mannequins from ?

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Nope

[@deidrabenson361]

❤️❤️❤️

[@robinrubendunst869]

Cher’s headdresses!!

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

He did lots for Cher.

[@davidh.4220]

Kahmora Hall!!!!!

[@LaurenceDay-d2p]

Tacky and flashy. Great fun to look at. What would he have done with Marilyn Monroe?

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Was def a costumer rather than a fashion designer.

[@louisgonzalez8846]

LaurenceDay:: seems to me, U R the tacky one!!!

[@pattimaeda6097]

I asked him if I could work for him for free even if what was picking pins off the floor. (I was a fashion design school graduate.) He said no.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

I hope he was respectful x

[@Thehealthyloveclub]

🤑🤑🤑🤑

[@pamjamas]

I always felt that Bob Mackie was designing drag queen costumes for actual women.

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Must have been projecting his own repressed inner drag Queen.

[@michaelrg3836]

Brad Bird does a better Edith Head than Edith Head! 😁

[@coalwood7274]

Imagine working along side of Bob M only to learn 'HE' did it all by himself. BS Artist. No one does it alone

[@RocioSantoyo-we3ni]

When you are a great designer and start to sell your clothes on TV, it is time to retired!!!

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

He had his heyday. We agree.

[@jayvee2792]

🤍

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Thanks

[@katherenewedic8076]

the music was horrible

[@Fashionindustrybroadcast]

Music is always a personal choice.

[@olavwilhelm6843]

"just because it is a costume it doesn't have to look like crap" well yours mostly did !! this guy has got nothing to do with fashion design (well maybe in Las Vegas lol)

[@talkinghead2004]

nine time emmy winner. three time oscar nominee, Tony award winner, member of the television hall of fame. honored friend and colleague to some of the most talented and successful entertainers around. i guess he'll just have to live down your criticism.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

@@talkinghead2004 ....BOB...is way too busy wearing sunglasses to deal with all the beautiful sequins and beads to be bothered with such trite opinions....

[@loveibiza1969]

@@talkinghead2004 thank YOU ! not for me but for the person u replied too, Olav Wilhelm. I'm 53 now & I totally remember Bob Mackie gowns . I had this Drag queen friend in the 90s that I once went to the mall with her, we walked into Saks Fifth Avenue..... Next thing you know we werent even there that long later knowing that she clipped/ripped off a Bob Mackie evening gown. So that's MY story knowing about Bob Mackie
