Bob Mackie Gives ’Em That Ol’ Razzle-Dazzle |
Bob Mackie, who turned 86 earlier this year, has dressed legends such as Cher, Tina Turner, and Mitzi Gaynor, draping them in his specialty sequins, beads, and feather plumes. The designer single-handedly caused worldwide shortages of Swarovski crystals—twice—while building his dazzling creations for the Las Vegas revue Jubilee!, which opened in 1981 and ran for nearly 35 years, and again for The Cher Show, which opened on Broadway in December 2018. Now he’s watching as Taylor Swift swathes herself in archival Mackie for her Life of a Showgirl promotional photos. “It’s the last thing you expect, really,” Mackie tells Kase Wickman over Zoom. “Every new show that comes on the television, just having it on in the background [today], talks about this new album.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Taylor Swift’s theatrical Showgirl experiment pays off at the box office; Ingmar Bergman and Liv Ullmann’s grandson gets into filmmaking, while Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts’s daughter is one of Paris Fashion Week’s most sought-after models; and we show you all the stars who turned out for the event, which is finally wrapping up today. |
