Film Director Matthew Miele Discussions Fashion Icon Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion

Ladies and gentlemen, documentary filmmaker Matthew Miele’s newest film BOB MACKIE: NAKED ILLUSION is a must see film. I want to watch it again and again, because there is so much to see and learn when it comes to the man that made us watch the red carpet shows, because of we want to see what everyone is wearing.

Bob Mackie is best known for his iconic costume designs for many entertainers and artists such as Cher, Elton John, Carol Burnett, Tina Turner, Marilyn Monroe, PINK, and many more. Over the years, he has transformed the way fashion is perceived on screen, dressing iconic characters in films such as Barbie. He has even dressed Barbie.

This incredible film documentary examines Bob’s unique upbringing, those whom he has held dear within his inner circle, and the familial surprises in his life that have all contributed to the optimism and audacity present in his work.

This film does turn back time and it shows us that Hollywood is still full of sequins, rhinestones, and the naked illusion that can only be made from the talented hands of the fashion icon, legend and genius of Bob Mackie.
