1980s vintage fashion wouldn’t have been the same without the influence of designer and costume creative genius Bob Mackie.<\/p>\n

Known as the “sultan of sequins” and the “rajah of rhinestones,” Mackie is most celebrated for outfitting performers for their razzle-dazzle stage performances (The Supremes, Whitney Houston, P!nk, just to name a few) and of course, Cher’s unforgettable look to the 1986 Academy Awards wearing knock-out evening wear and a huge feathered Mohawk headdress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Bob Mackie is more than just illustrious designs worn by divas of the stage.\u00a0<\/span>Yes, Mackie designs for plenty of real divas<\/em> – but he also designs for real women<\/em> to feel like divas, too. Because in the words of Mackie himself: “A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed.”\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1982, after two decades as a costume designer for actresses and performers of TV, film and music, Bob Mackie designed his first collection for a new type of stage: The Catwalk of Fashion Week.<\/p>\n

Inspired by the inner strength of female performers never ashamed to stand apart from the crowd, his ready-to-wear collections of the ’80s and ’90s were designed for the mainstream woman to “Dare to Wear” so that they could celebrate their most fabulous self and shine their inherent light on the world.<\/p>\n

I believe that every woman deserves to unleash her daring diva within. Which is why I’m so proud to announce that Sammy Davis Vintage is partnering with\u00a0Bob Mackie<\/a> to help spread #vintagelove and honor the legacy of his ready-to-wear collection and impact on the history of fashion and ’80s clothing trends.\u00a0<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
