                Bob Mackie | Barbie Platinum Label Conceptual Illustration

                Est: $300 - $500

                A signed Bob Mackie conceptual illustration of a 2001 platinum-label Barbie doll design (Fantasy Goddess of the Artic). The original mixed-medium illustration features a full-length Barbie in an elaborate emerald green, gold, and white evening gown with a cape. The detailed design features snowflake and baroque scroll accents that trim the cape, accent the collar, and are prominently detailed on the bodice. Bob Mackie's signature is at the illustration's bottom righthand corner. Bob Mackie was the first designer to create an entire Barbie from the hair, face sculpt, screening, and fashion. The Hollywood Reporter, in an article profiling Mackie's work with Mattel, quotes Bill Greening, Barbie's principal lead designer, saying, "Not just the fashion, but he was involved with the whole look of the doll, from the hair to the face.” Mackie's maximalism created fantasy-inspired dolls in shrunken couture that employed hand-sewn embroidery and beading.  Bob Mackie began designing for Mattel's Barbie collector in 1990. Mattel initially approached Mackie to design a costume/fashion for the doll but ended up designing a limited edition collector doll. His first design, "Gold Mackie," was a platinum hair Barbie with a high ponytail in a full-length gold sequin gown with an exposed midriff. Following his successful premier design, Mackie began designing annual themed collections that were just as bedazzled and elaborate as his designs for stage and screen productions. Mackie, in an interview with Barry Sturgill for Barbie Bazaar: The Barbie Collector's Magazine (March/April 1997, Volume 9, Issue 7) the designer explains what he enjoys most about designing for the iconic doll, "Barbie Doll is a fantasy figure. It's like designing for a six-foot-tall Las Vegas showgirl...plus she has those wonderful long legs!"  Bob Mackie began his career working with some of the most acclaimed Hollywood costume designers, Jean Louis and Edith Head. In 1963, he began working with Ray Aghayan for CBS's The Judy Garland Show, then went on to work and collaborated with Carol Burnette, Cher, and Diana Ross. Mackie's satiric eye referencing films from the Golden Age of cinema and nude illusion and beaded pieces became style hallmarks for the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. His designs continue to attract the interest of new generations of performers and celebrities who continue to wear his designs.

The look was accompanied by a sketch illustrated and signed by Mackie. This lot is part of Bob Mackie's Bold Luxury Picks curation. "The power of fashion is to tell a story, evoke emotion, and create unforgettable moments," says designer Bob Mackie.
