#SPOTTED: BOB MACKIE IN TORONTO FOR “NAKED ILLUSION”

Fashion visionary Bob Mackie made a special visit to Toronto this weekend in support of his new Documentary NAKED ILLUSION, directed by Matthew Miele.

With two Q&A appearances following weekend screenings of the Film at Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema, Mackie reflects on a dazzling six-decade-spanning career having designed iconic looks for the likes of Cher, Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett (and her eponymous show), Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Donna Summer, Elton John, Tina Turner, Miley Cyrus, and several more. Some of these names even appear in the Documentary. He has won Primetime Emmys and TONYs and his vision to this day,.still dictates red carpet sensibilities. Mackie is an American treasure.

So delighted to have met the man behind some of Fashion’s most unforgettable moments. And he is absolute angel, still looking great and full of life in his mid–80s! He mentioned needing to go get his glasses after having drinks with some notable names in Canadian fashion, prior to his screening. Will never forget this moment! He was so personable!

You can now stream NAKED ILLUSION on-demand on Prime Video.
