Product details
Web ID: 14061515Amazing art and fashion history book!
I had to have this book once I saw it on the table at the bookstore. I am a huge fan of Bob Mackie and knew him from the Cher and Carol Burnett shows But I did not realize the depth of his workl. I am of the Bob Mackie generation and grew up excited to see his creations each week. But did not realize the amazing artwork that goes with each of the pieces. I enjoyed every page and was sorry to reach the end of the book. The stories for each piece brought back so many memories. Whether you are a follower of fashion or love skethces - this is the book for you.

I’m a firm believer in fashion is art so I was thrilled to receive a digital ARC of The Art of Bob Mackie. I am familiar with Bob Mackie’s designs and knew he had worked on the Sonny and Cher show, but I didn’t realize how prolific he was through the 60s, 70s, and even on to day. This book covers Mackie’s career beginning in the early 1960s to my guess is today. Included are stories from each of his eras including quotes from Mackie and people he designed for, sketches of designs, and photographs. I loved seeing the pictures of the finished product next to the Mackie’s original sketches. Overall the book was a very fun read. It would be a wonderful coffee table book for fashion lovers and television lovers alike.

Exquisite
An absolutely breathtaking book. Bob Mackie’s original drawings are beautiful, and paired with photographs of the actual fits (as my teen would say) plus the stories that go with them—immaculate. Whether or not you’re a fan of sequins and feathers, you have to admit that the lines of Mackie’s creations are beautiful and always flattering to the bodies he designed them for. This book is not just an homage to Mackie’s designs but to the stars and shows he designed them for. I need to binge some Carol Burnett. #TheArtofBobMackie #NetGalley
