DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : Bob Mackie Black Satin Dress with Embellished Tul
 le Upper\, 1980-90s \n\n\n\nBob Mackie (1940-present) is\, without a doub
 t\, the king of glitz. As a young child\, he was enchanted by Old Hollywoo
 d glamour. The influence of stars such as Lana Turner and Betty Grable stu
 ck with him creatively and physically–– he has a scar on his chin from
  falling down the stairs in platform heels while dressed up as Carmen Mira
 nda at age 5. At 21\, Mackie worked for costumer Jean Louis\, where he des
 igned the dress Marilyn Monroe wore to sing “Happy Birthday\, Mr. Presid
 ent” to John F. Kennedy. Soon after\, he started working at Paramount St
 udios under the legendary Edith Head. In 1963\, Mackie started in the cost
 ume department of The Judy Garland Show. It was there he met designer Ray 
 Aghayan\, his lifelong creative and romantic partner. He designed every co
 stume for The Carol Burnett Show for its entire run from 1967 to 1978\, av
 eraging more than 60 looks 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 lo
 oks\, including nearly every Cher costume (such as her “revenge dress”
  from the 1986 Oscars and the “naked” dress)\, Diana Ross as Billie Ho
 liday\, Sharon Stone in Casino\, Elton John as Donald Duck\, Tina Turner\,
  Ann-Margaret\, Mitzi Gaynor\, Ethel Merman\, RuPaul\, Liza Minnelli\, Who
 opi Goldberg\, Barbra Streisand–– the list is truly endless. Another f
 avored client is Barbie\, for whom Mackie has designed many spectacular go
 wns in miniature. Over the years\, he has won 9 Emmy Awards\, been nominat
 ed for 3 Academy Awards\, and most recently a Tony Award. Beyond stage and
  screen\, he has also designed numerous runway collections. Throughout thi
 s prodigious career\, the "sultan of sequins” has maintained his unmista
 kable design identity while continuing to evolve\, always onto an exciting
