Online tickets are for the Talk only. They do not include the screening. Talk begins at approximately 9:15 pm ET.
Join iconic fashion and costume designer Bob Mackie for a special screening of the new documentary about his life and career, Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion, followed by a special Fashion Icons conversation with Fern Mallis and special guests, director Matthew Miele, Tony Award-winning actress Bernadette Peters and Gregg Barnes.
Cher, Tina Turner, Carol Burnett, RuPaul, Miley Cyrus, and Bernadette Peters — these are just a few of the iconic artists who Bob Mackie has dressed in his extraordinary career. A designer whose dresses have helped define American style for decades, each of his outfits conjures something to behold and remember. Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion examines Mackie’s unique upbringing, interviewing some of his closest collaborators, and capturing his over-the-top costumes as they get sequined and beaded from sketch to stage. After the film, hear him and Peters talk to Fern Mallis about what drives him — his beautifully flashy style, the traditional methods he has used to create a wholly original aesthetic, stories from his career, and more.
