DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : Bob Mackie Beaded Leopard Print Dress\, 1990s \n
 \n\n\nBob Mackie (1940-present) is\, without a doubt\, the king of glitz. 
 As a young child\, he was enchanted by Old Hollywood glamour. The influenc
 e of stars such as Lana Turner and Betty Grable stuck with him creatively 
 and physically–– he has a scar on his chin from falling down the stair
 s in platform heels while dressed up as Carmen Miranda at age 5. At 21\, M
 ackie worked for costumer Jean Louis\, where he designed the dress Marilyn
  Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday\, Mr. President” to John F. Kenne
 dy. Soon after\, he started working at Paramount Studios under the legenda
 ry Edith Head. In 1963\, Mackie started in the costume department of The J
 udy Garland Show. It was there he met designer Ray Aghayan\, his lifelong 
 creative and romantic partner. He designed every costume for The Carol Bur
 nett Show for its entire run from 1967 to 1978\, averaging more than 60 lo
 oks per week for a whopping grand total of 17\,000. Throughout the 70’s 
 and 80’s\, he outfitted many Las Vegas showgirls in extravagant feathery
  creations. Mackie has designed countless iconic looks\, including nearly 
 every Cher costume (such as her “revenge dress” from the 1986 Oscars a
 nd the “naked” dress)\, Diana Ross as Billie Holiday\, Sharon Stone in
  Casino\, Elton John as Donald Duck\, Tina Turner\, Ann-Margaret\, Mitzi G
 aynor\, Ethel Merman\, RuPaul\, Liza Minnelli\, Whoopi Goldberg\, Barbra S
 treisand–– the list is truly endless. Another favored client is Barbie
 \, for whom Mackie has designed many spectacular gowns in miniature. Over 
 the years\, he has won 9 Emmy Awards\, been nominated for 3 Academy Awards
 \, and most recently a Tony Award. Beyond stage and screen\, he has also d
 esigned numerous runway collections. Throughout this prodigious career\, t
 he "sultan of sequins” has maintained his unmistakable design identity w
 hile continuing to evolve\, always onto an exciting venture.\n\nFloor-leng
