Barbie Collector Interview With Bob Mackie

http://www.barbiecollector.com/collec... - Hard to believe it's been more than 20 years since the debut of the Bob Mackie Gold Barbie Doll. Since that stunning debut, Mackie has created outrageous, colorful, over-the-top designs for Barbie. Anything but ordinary, in Mackie's eyes Barbie is the ultimate fantasy icon, to be dressed at the height of show-stopping glamour.

In this special interview conducted by Robert Best, Mackie talks about what he first thought about Barbie; his first design for her; the similarities and differences in designing for the stars versus designing for Barbie; his inspiration for the wildly popular Brazilian Banana Bonanza Barbie Doll; designing for Cher, and the Cher dolls; and finally, he gives us a look at the design for his upcoming Barbie Collector doll, a fairy-inspired creation!
