being an old school USC architecture , marketing?business law ....graduated .... OMG I just LOVE these pieces thank u Doris
His dresses are timeless!
I am such an admirer of Bob Mackie and his creativity. My most favorite interview of his is when he designed costumes for Carol Burnette. The story behind the Gone With The Wind parody he designed (the drapes dress) is HILARIOUS!!!
Wow ! these are my childhood dream dresses!
I lived to see Cher on tv every week to see her gorgeous dresses. 😊
Wonderful Show🙏🏿. Thank you for 😊 acknowledging that Marilyn Monroe’s famous dress for President Kennedy’s birthday 🎁 song, was a Bob Mackie Original Design. This fact is not mentioned whenever someone focuses on the “ Dress”.
A virtual field trip full of beautiful things 😍
These are all so iconic. Madonna is probably best known for wearing JP Gaultier, but that dress Mackie designed for her for the Oscars is legendary, and his work for Cher is sublime. Half Breed is problematic, but you have to admit that outfit is gorgeous.
thank you doris for showing these fashions. they're mind blowing and dazling
Bob mackie is a icon.
His work for Ray Aghayan for the Judy Garland Show was phenomenal and timeless
I just love Doris Raymond! She is the BOMB!
Bob Mackie is a great designer, in part, because understands what’s needed for to facilitate movement for dancing or the physicality of a comic sketch, for example. Also has a sense of humor and a sense of comedy; think of the curtain rod dress for Carol Burnett‘s Scarlett O’Hara skit as well as Mrs. Wiggins pencil skirt design so that Carol had to walk with her rear end stuck out. Those sketches would’ve never been the same without that. Design actually helped immensely with the comedy.
Amazing! I didn't know that Bob Mackie works for Jean Louis who create the statuesques "wind dresses" for Marlène Dietrich's Las Vegas show in the 1950's (the original idea of the naked illusion dress comes from a mousseline dress he did for her for the movie 1930's movie MORROCO ). I understand better the Jean Louis influence on Mackie's. Always a great pleasure to see you and hear you.❤ from France.
...OMG...there was a big scandal about it...basically a LOT of what BOB made for CHER...were direct ripoffs of what JEAN LOUIS made for MARLENE...she was so mad that she would call JL...to try to get him to SUE BOB....she HATED BOB AND CHER....
I am totally not into fashion, why I'm watching this? Doris you have such an amazing voice and so many stories. Thank you :)
Love these clothes! 💘💜💕
Love the videos, I see that you are getting much more relaxed in front of the camera Doris and the quality is getting better and better. Continue doing your thing because it’s fantastic
She’s always seemed relaxed to me, she’s been in front of cameras for years, she had her own TV show :)
I'm nervous just watching you unveiling the sketches. OMG! Iconic
I’ve always wanted to compete on the Miss USA pageant stage, but a big part of the dream is to wear Bob Mackie! My all time favourite gowns are made by him. Simply genius man
I have found some wonderful sautoirs over the years including a fabulous Persian carpet example a few years ago, I never knew that they had an official name, so was delighted to learn it.
It’s really incredible how Mackie was able to perfectly capture the essence of the superstars he was designing for in these illustrations; it really speaks to his talent as an artist and designer.
Amazing video as always, Doris! It’s such a privilege to be able to tag along with you as you explore iconic fashion and pop culture history!
Bob Mackie is a genius and I see sautoirs as necklaces with no clasp, no opening to be fastened.
One of the dresses he did for Cher (I don’t know if it was for “Sonny & Cher” or “Cher”) but I’ll never forget it, because I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. It was white with clusters of purple grapes on it. I think it simply had spaghetti straps so they didn’t take anything away from the form fitting gown. I’d have to say that out of all of the gowns he did for her it is my favorite,and that is saying something. Also, Happy New Year to you as well. Thanks for this video. What memories for your viewers.
As an artist myself I must say his illustrations are absolutely a work of genius.
yes, yes, and more yes to this!!
Doris, I absolutely love this episode! I have always been ENAMORED with Bob Mackie gowns and costumes! As a former beauty Queen, I can truly say for myself, once I put on a beaded and sequined gown, I was hooked for life!!! I bead a lot of my clothing. It’s my signature. I even made a gown for myself that Nolan Miller made for Linda Evans when she starred on Dynasty. It was lots of handwork, but it was superb! Thank you so very much! I so enjoyed this episode!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Wow! You have a lot of patience Melba and obviously skill too!
Doris
Love the education & history you give on the fashion /art -it makes me appreciate it more
Oh, the Carol Channing sketch was just gorgeous! I mean, all of them were but that captured Ms Channing beautifully!
I love and look forward to Doris's reading of , quotes by individual designers. I feel that it ties everything together.
Doris....You are making me (82 yrs) happy HAPPY H A P P Y ! You know your "stuff" at you are EXCELLENT !
Love, love, love this episode.
Doris you do realize you do so much more than what you do!
Hi Michael! I always read comments but unfortunately do not have the time to reply to all of them but your comment touched my heart. Thank you so much for those words! It’s a pleasure to be sharing my pieces and connecting with you.
Be safe and be well.
Doris
I would venture a guess that all of us women watching the Sonny and Cher show on any given showing, collectively gasped every time Cher walked out in her Bob Mackie! I know I did! What a fabulous collection! Keep em coming Doris! We love you, and THIS! ❤️❤️❤️
Ok I have been a fan of these videos for a long time. I have some catching up to do. You look amazing. Your personal wardrobe choices are fabulous. You keep us engaged with your sincerity. You are such a fan of beautiful clothing and your heart is so in the right place. I used to go to a shop in Las Vegas called Suzy Cream Cheese. It was my introduction to vintage outside of thrift stores. She was mean and my heart would pound when I walked in the door but I wanted my vintage fix and I took it for as long as I could. She knew I wasn't able to afford the cloths I was only 13 or 14 taking the bus to her shop from my home in a not so affluent neighborhood. I think I still carry some of that when I walk in doors here in Los Angeles. Your shop always scared me but when I finally went in your staff was warm and friendly. They had tons of knowledge and easy laughs. I had a wonderful time and was so glad I went in. Thank you for these videos. I love learning. I was a costume designer in the 80's and 90's before I became a massage therapist. Now I am going back to my roots due to social distancing. You keep me excited about it.
Bob Mackie is a genuinely nice man. I met him back in the 80's and run into him from time to time in NYC. Always a gentleman.
I love the dress with the moon on the back. Stunning.
He is a fabulous artist through and through. Thanks to Doris and the gang for bringing us these videos. xoxo
I've been a fan of his since seeing his designs on The Carol Burnett Show.
Donna Clayton gone with the wind dress, I’ll never forget it😂
That's where I first learned who he was and Carol looked fab in his designs!
I LOVE MADONNA....I wish you would do an episode dedicated to her.
Yes!!
All so beautiful.
As soon as you said Bob Macke ... I thought CHER!!! A marriage made in heaven... beautiful visions meets beautiful lady! Absolutely stunning! How fun was this Doris!
Thanks Doris - great show.
Fashion illustration is a highly sought after form for collection, less cumbersome than actual garment collecting. There are fewer illustrators as prolific than Mackie . Magnificent thank y for sharing ✌🏿️👌🏾😇💝
Yes! I have many framed Robert Best (for Barbie) prints- he is one of my favorites, and one of the few I can afford!
I loved his work even as a child when I had no clue about fashion! It was so incredible. In the 1970s when you thought about a clothing designer, it was Bob Mackie.
Just scored a Beautiful silk Bob Mackie blouse at Goodwill. It’s zebra print on one side, solid black on the other. So rock ‘n’ roll and perfect for me!
Thank you Doris! The King of sequíns! hope one days have one pice from him.🌹🌹🌹
More incredible beauty from Doris. What taste! What elegance!
Enjoyed the "Show Off".
Love this vid about Bob M. When I was in college I was in some sort of spring fashion show in Illinois 1976 and I got to wear a Bob M gown. There were several there, it was a bridal show and they needed relatively tall girls (me at 5’9”) and the gowns were all breathtakingly beautiful, very elaborate and heavily beaded. Truly magnificent designs. I didn’t know anything about fashion then but I remember the name and the gowns. Amazing sketches! 🤗❤️👍 LtCol Lorna
The sautoirs got me. I make beadwork earrings and barrettes and I love seeing loomwork stand the tests of time. Also fringe, my favorite color, haha~
Could you imagine if Bob Mackie did a bridal couture trunk show?!? Oh my gosh.
Also love his perfume.
the sunny and cher show was one of my favorite things to watch as a kid growing up in small town southern ontario canada ,my mother older sister and i would all gather together for that weekly event, as a young kid i just could not believe what i was seeing cher was like some amazing glamorus creature, i could hardly believe my eyes ,thanks to cher and bob mackie i grew into a fabulous gay man ,thanks cher thanks bob love always
Fran drescher loved bob mackie the iconic silver gown she wore in the show was fantastic
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Thank you Doris, for an episode where fashion art was center stage, I too am a big Bob Mackie fan. And let's not for get the iconic work he did thru out Diana Ross's career. Well form her CBS t.v specials to the movie Lady Sings the Blues to several of her concert gowns .
great video!!!!
I love you Doris you reconfirmed my love of fashion and sewing thank you!! I would love to meet you some day you are amazing
Wow! So neat to see all that!
Wow, thank you, fab!
Also it's wonderful to have a collector who became a boutique owner like you, so we can not only purchase but get a true window in time to the art of fashion historicity . Hope y eventually do some books . 👌🏾✌🏿️😇💝
How extraordinary! Thank you so much hon. I was always told Mitzi Gaynor was what we call in today’s parlance a micro-managing type of lady! I did not know he had the rare opportunity to work under such an impressive and sometimes imposing little gal!
At 11:13 ish I realize I may have some fabric almost identical to the black bejeweled piece, minus the jewels. It isn’t lined, I think it draped over a shell at one time. Maybe I should get a lil more organized, ya think? I love my Bob Mackie!
Love love love so exciting and fun to watch xxx love you and your videos your such a great storyteller love from new Zealand
I was so excited to click upon seeing you featured Bob Mackie! A feature we didn't know we needed until you showed it.
So much love for you Doris 💗💗💗 Happy holidays 😇😇
I could only dream of owning and wearing a Bob Mackie gown! I love this video so much! Thank you Doris for posting this one! Happy Holidays to you ❤️🥰

Another fabulous installment. Happy New year to you too, Doris!
Once again Thank You Doris for your videos+++ Looking forward to more in The New Year!!!
dress at 13:08- wow!
Thank you!
This was a fun walk down fashion memory lane. Thank you, Doris!
OMG....Carol Channing....Helloooooo Dolly! Thank you sooo much for sharing this. Mackeys work was so iconic!! He WAS Hollywood. Cher was also a frequent quest on Carol Burnett's show. They were friends.
You use the word " genius " when speaking of Bob Mackie ! A perfect description of his work ! Working g with Edith Head must have I influenced Mr. Mackie with enhancing the female form ! I really like to do my own beading on my designs ! I know I could send a big project to India or China for beading , but that would have to be an elaborate design ! I do a quarter scale first of a beaded design then scale up ! Something people need to know if your beading g a design, you need bags of the beads your design requires ! I have found a forging fabric that is not netting. I can use a French needle or a latch needle and no holes ! I think it's great when your a designer and your given the space to be free in designing ! But I always learn something new from your channel ! You bring the designs to life with your research and concepts to show the clothing lines ! It's always a pleasure to watch you and what treasures you have in the shop ! Cheers .
I love this videos.
Very interesting video, loved it!😍😍
