DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : Bob Mackie Velvet and Lace Dress\, 1980-90s \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 influence 
 of stars such as Lana Turner and Betty Grable stuck with him creatively an
 d physically–– he has a scar on his chin from falling down the stairs 
 in platform heels while dressed up as Carmen Miranda at age 5. At 21\, Mac
 kie worked for costumer Jean Louis\, where he designed the dress Marilyn M
 onroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday\, Mr. President” to John F. Kennedy
 . Soon after\, he started working at Paramount Studios under the legendary
  Edith Head. In 1963\, Mackie started in the costume department of The Jud
 y Garland Show. It was there he met designer Ray Aghayan\, his lifelong cr
 eative and romantic partner. He designed every costume for The Carol Burne
 tt Show for its entire run from 1967 to 1978\, averaging more than 60 look
 s per week for a whopping grand total of 17\,000. Throughout the 70’s an
 d 80’s\, he outfitted many Las Vegas showgirls in extravagant feathery c
 reations. Mackie has designed countless iconic looks\, including nearly ev
 ery Cher costume (such as her “revenge dress” from the 1986 Oscars and
  the “naked” dress)\, Diana Ross as Billie Holiday\, Sharon Stone in C
 asino\, Elton John as Donald Duck\, Tina Turner\, Ann-Margaret\, Mitzi Gay
 nor\, Ethel Merman\, RuPaul\, Liza Minnelli\, Whoopi Goldberg\, Barbra Str
 eisand–– the list is truly endless. Another favored client is Barbie\,
  for whom Mackie has designed many spectacular gowns in miniature. Over th
 e 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 des
 igned numerous runway collections. Throughout this prodigious career\, the
  "sultan of sequins” has maintained his unmistakable design identity whi
 le continuing to evolve\, always onto an exciting venture.\n\nFloor-length
