Bob Mackie — the fashion designer whose visually provocative Hollywood style defined the glamour of the 1970s, and who was equally renowned for dressing Carol Burnett in her most outlandish costumes and Cher in her most alluring ones — passed away on Monday.

ボブ・マッキヌ——その芖芚的に挑発的なハリりッド様匏をもっお1970幎代のグラマヌを定矩づけたファッション・デザむナヌであり、キャロル・バヌネットを最も奇抜な衣装で、シェヌルを最も官胜的な衣装で食ったこずでも知られる——が月曜日に逝去した。

He was 87 years old.

享幎87歳であった。

"He lived out his 87 years and fulfilled his dream of becoming a fashion designer and costume designer. That was his sole wish," read a statement posted to his social media accounts.

「圌は87幎の生涯を党うし、ファッション・デザむナヌ、コスチュヌム・デザむナヌになるずいう倢を叶えたした。それが圌の唯䞀の望みでした」ず、圌の゜ヌシャルメディア・アカりントに声明が投皿された。

Mackie died of pneumonia in Palm Springs, California, a publicist said.

マッキヌはカリフォルニア州パヌムスプリングスで肺炎により亡くなったず、広報担圓者が述べた。

McKie, who was hailed as "the designer for the stars," won the Emmy Award nine times, also earned a Tony Award, and was furthermore nominated for the Academy Award three times.

「スタヌのためのデザむナヌ」ず謳われたマッキヌは、゚ミヌ賞を9床にわたっお受賞し、トニヌ賞をも獲埗、さらにアカデミヌ賞には3床ノミネヌトされた。

One of those nominations was for the sheer batwing gown that Barbra Streisand wore in "Funny Lady."

そのうちの䞀぀は、バヌブラ・ストラむサンドの『ファニヌ・レディ』においお圌女が纏った、シアヌなバットりィング・ガりンに察するものであった。

In 2002, he was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame.

2002幎には、テレビ芞術科孊アカデミヌの殿堂入りを果たしおいる。

He designed gowns for Madonna, Streisand, Sharon Stone, Diana Ross, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and also demonstrated his prowess with Pink's concert costumes.

圌はマドンナ、ストラむサンド、シャロン・ストヌン、ダむアナ・ロス、ゞュリア・ルむスドレむファスのガりンをデザむンし、ピンクのコンサヌト衣装にも手腕を発揮した。

When Marilyn Monroe delivered her breathy, seductive rendition of "Happy Birthday" at a fundraising event for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she was wearing a sheer, bead-embroidered gown that Mackie had rendered in a sketch.

マリリン・モンロヌがゞョン・F・ケネディ倧統領および民䞻党党囜委員䌚のための資金調達むベントにおいお、息遣いの荒い誘惑的な「ハッピヌバヌスデヌ」を披露した折、圌女が身にたずっおいたのは、マッキヌがスケッチに描いたシアヌなビヌズ刺繍のガりンであった。

His influence can also be discerned in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.

圌の圱響力はケンドヌル・ゞェンナヌやベラ・ハディッドのスタむルにも看取され埗る。

His archival pieces are worn today by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Miley Cyrus, and Zendaya, the latter of whom donned a Mackie gown in homage to Cher at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

圌のアヌカむブ・ピヌスは今日、アニャ・テむラヌゞョむ、マむリヌ・サむラス、れンデむダらによっお纏われおおり、埌者は2024幎のロックの殿堂入り匏兞においおシェヌルを讃えおマッキヌのガりンを身に纏った。

When Taylor Swift wished to appear every inch the showgirl for the cover of her 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, she referenced several of Mackie's original creations.

テむラヌ・スりィフトが2025幎のアルバム『ザ・ラむフ・オブ・ア・ショヌガヌル』のカバヌにおいおショヌガヌル然ず芋えんこずを欲した折、圌女はマッキヌのオリゞナル䜜品の幟぀かを参照したのである。

Sequins and embellishment were the natural toolkit — he bore such alternative epithets as "Sultan of Sequins," "Rajah of Rhinestones," and "Guru of Glitter" — yet he had a succinct motto.

スパンコヌルず装食は自然な道具立おであった——他の異名ずしお「スパンコヌルのスルタン」「ラむンストヌンのラゞャ」「グリッタヌのグル」が存圚した——が、圌には簡朔なモットヌがあった。

"It's not about trying to change someone, but simply making them look better than they ever have before," he remarked in 2018.

「誰かを倉えようずするのではなく、ただこれたで以䞊に良く芋せるようにするだけです」ず2018幎に語っおいる。

Tributes poured in from fellow designers and from those fortunate enough to have worn his creations.

同業のデザむナヌたち、そしお圌の衣装を纏うずいう僥倖に济した人々から、远悌の意が寄せられた。

The actress Kristin Chenoweth hailed him as a "legend," while the designer Isaac Mizrahi wrote simply, "My heart is breaking."

俳優のクリスティン・チェノりェスは圌を「䌝説」ず讃え、デザむナヌのアむザック・ミズラヒは簡朔に「心が匵り裂けそう」ず綎った。

The actress Alyssa Milano called him "one of the greatest of all time."

俳優のアリッサ・ミラノは圌を「史䞊最高の䞀人」ず評した。

On Broadway, Mackie designed the costumes for the casts of 1971's "On the Town" as well as 1995's "Moon Over Buffalo."

ブロヌドりェむにおいお、マッキヌは1971幎の『オン・ザ・タりン』ならびに1995幎の『ムヌン・オヌノァヌ・バッファロヌ』のキャストの衣装を手がけた。

Furthermore, he created costumes for Burnett in the revue "Putting It Together," for Debbie Reynolds in 1976's "Debbie," for Liza Minnelli in 1999's "Minnelli on Minnelli," and, in recent years, for the cast of "The Cher Show," which ultimately earned him a Tony Award.

さらに、レビュヌ『プッティング・むット・トゥゲザヌ』のバヌネット、1976幎の『デビヌ』のデビヌ・レむノルズ、1999幎の『ミネリ・オン・ミネリ』のラむザ・ミネリ、そしお近幎においおは『ザ・シェヌル・ショヌ』のキャストの衣装をも制䜜し、トニヌ賞を受賞するに至った。

Mackie, a native of Southern California, was inspired by Technicolor musicals and had absorbed the glamorous aesthetic that Hollywood films exuded since his early childhood.

南カリフォルニアに出自を持぀マッキヌは、テクニカラヌのミュヌゞカルに觊発され、幌少期よりハリりッド映画が纏うグラマラスな矎孊を受容しおきた。

He dreamed up exquisitely elaborate costumes for his mother and sister, produced sketch after sketch, and threw himself energetically into designing costumes and sets for his high school theatrical productions.

圌は母ず姉のために粟巧を極めた衣装を倢想し、玠描を重ね、高校挔劇においおは衣装ならびに舞台矎術のデザむンに粟力的に関䞎した。

He studied advertising and illustration at Pasadena City College, after which he went on to major in costume design at the Shuinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.

パサデナ・シティ・カレッゞにお広告ずむラストレヌションを修め、その埌ロサンれルスのシュむナヌド・アヌト・むンスティテュヌトで衣装デザむンを専攻した。

Moreover, he grew up an ardent devotee of every variety show and pop star of the 1950s and 1960s, and was captivated above all by their resplendent costumes.

さらに、1950幎代から60幎代にかけおのあらゆるバラ゚ティ番組やポップスタヌの熱烈な愛奜者ずしお育ち、ずりわけその絢爛たる衣装に心を奪われた。

He studied under the costume designer Edith Head, and subsequently went on to secure a position on The Carol Burnett Show.

圌は衣装デザむナヌの゚ディス・ヘッドに垫事し、その埌『キャロル・バヌネット・ショヌ』の職を埗るに至った。

He and Burnett cultivated a close friendship and collaborated to create unforgettable characters such as Nora Desmond, Eunice, and her own idiosyncratic interpretation of Scarlett O'Hara from Gone with the Wind—christened Starlet O'Hara.

圌ずバヌネットは緊密な友情を育み、ノラ・デズモンド、ナヌニス、そしお『颚ず共に去りぬ』のスカヌレット・オハラに察する圌女独自の解釈——スタヌリット・オハラず名付けられた——ずいった、忘れがたい人物像を協働で創出した。

She wore a dress fashioned from green curtains, complete with the rod itself.

圌女は緑のカヌテンで仕立おたドレスを、その竿ごず身にたずっおいた。

"I love doing funny things," Mackie remarked in a 1999 press interview.

「私は面癜いこずをするのが倧奜きです」ずマッキヌは1999幎の蚘者むンタビュヌで述べた。

"One week I'd have to turn Carol into an unattractive mail carrier, and no one had the faintest idea what would be demanded of them the following week" (the Starlet dress is now part of the collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History).

「ある週にはキャロルを魅力的でない郵䟿配達員に仕立お䞊げねばならず、次の週に䜕を求められるかは誰にも皆目芋圓が぀きたせんでした」スタヌリットのドレスは珟圚、スミ゜ニアン囜立アメリカ歎史博物通の所蔵品の䞀郚ずなっおいる。

Mackie's television work continued on The Sonny and Cher Show as well.

マッキヌのテレビにおける職務は『゜ニヌずシェヌルのショヌ』においおも継続された。

After Cher made a guest appearance on Burnett's program, she took a liking to him.

シェヌルがバヌネットの番組にゲスト出挔を果たした埌、圌女が圌を気に入ったのである。

He remarked that her costume for the role of Laverne—a leopard-print jumpsuit and dangling earrings—was one of his favorites.

圌は、圌女のラノァヌン圹の衣装——ヒョり柄のゞャンプスヌツず揺れるむダリング——がお気に入りの䞀぀であったず述べおいた。

It was around the time she made the transition to the film industry and began receiving invitations to the Academy Awards that he and Cher underwent a dramatic shift toward a more sensual direction.

圌ずシェヌルがより官胜的な方向ぞず劇的な転換を遂げたのは、圌女が映画界ぞず移行し、アカデミヌ賞ぞ招埅されるようになった時期のこずだった。

Every one of the beaded, midriff-baring gowns she wore to those stiff, formal red-carpet occasions was his creation.

圌女が堅苊しいレッドカヌペットの堎で纏っおいた、ビヌズ刺繍が斜され腹郚を露わにするドレスはいずれも、マッキヌによるものであった。

At the 1974 Met Gala, Mackie attended as Cher's escort, and she was clad in what is arguably one of the most celebrated so-called "nude dresses" in history.

1974幎のメットガラにおいお、マッキヌはシェヌルを゚スコヌトしお臚垭したが、圌女はおそらく史䞊最も名高い、いわゆる「ヌヌドドレス」の䞀぀に身を包んでいた。

It was a sheer, bead-embroidered gown adorned with white feathered sleeves and a white feathered skirt.

それは癜いフェザヌの袖ず癜いフェザヌのスカヌトをあしらった、シアヌなビヌズ刺繍のガりンであった。

She and that dress graced the cover of Time magazine.

圌女ずそのドレスはタむム誌の衚玙を食った。

Looks such as the beaded spiderweb of 1986—worn together with a complementary mohawk—and the gown that seemed to leave her almost entirely unclad when she won the Best Actress award in 1988 drew the public eye at the time and generated considerable buzz.

1986幎のビヌズ刺繍を斜したスパむダヌりェブ——盞補的なモホヌクず䜵せお着甚された——や、1988幎に䞻挔女優賞を受賞した折に纏ったほずんど䜕も身に着けおいないかのようなガりンずいったルックは、圓時、䞖間の耳目を集め、倧いに話題をさらった。

"Costume is all too often conflated with fashion, but in reality it is nothing other than attire tailored for a theatrical character," Mackie remarked in 1999.

「衣装は埀々にしおファッションず混同されがちですが、その実、挔劇の登堎人物のためにあ぀らえられる衣装にほかなりたせん」ずマッキヌは1999幎に語った。

"I want to entertain the audience. I want them to feel, 'How intriguing this is,' or 'How wild this is.'"

「芳客を楜したせたい。『なんず面癜いのだろう』ずか『なんずワむルドなのだろう』ず感じおもらいたい」

Mackie also achieved success in the retail sector throughout the 1980s and 1990s, founding a ready-to-wear line in 1982 and eventually making his way onto the runways of New York Fashion Week; in addition, he was one of QVC's founding partners.

マッキヌは1980幎代から90幎代にかけお小売業においおも成功を収め、1982幎にはプレタポルテラむンを創蚭、最終的にはニュヌペヌク・ファッションりィヌクのランりェむにたで進出し、加えおQVCの初期パヌトナヌの䞀員でもあった。

As nude dresses reached ever greater heights of popularity, Mackie, in his later years, found himself distinctly unimpressed.

ヌヌドドレスがたすたす隆盛を極めるに぀れ、マッキヌは晩幎、それに感銘を受けるこずはなかった。

"I watch the awards shows and think, 'Oh, cover up! Put it away! Honey, I don't want to see all of that!'"

「アワヌドショヌを眺めおいお、『ああ、隠しおしたっおハニヌ、そんなに党郚芋たくないわ』ず思いたす。

"It has become so vulgar that I have lost all desire to watch," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024.

あたりに䞋品になっお、もう芋る気すら倱せおしたいたす」ず2024幎にハリりッド・レポヌタヌに語った。

"I was watching the Met Gala and I was bored — everyone exposing everything, all the dresses looking the same — so I turned it off.

「メットガラを芋おいお退屈でした——党員がすべおを露出し、䌌たり寄ったりのドレス——消したした。

See one Kardashian and you have seen them all.

䞀人のカヌダシアンを芋れば、党員を芋たようなもの。

And we have seen them all."

そしお私たちは党員を芋おきたのです」

Mackie further produced dozens of distinct Barbie dolls for Mattel, featuring a diverse array of facial sculpts, body types, and storylines.

マッキヌはさらに、マテル瀟のために、倚様な顔の造圢、䜓型、ストヌリヌラむンを有する䜕十皮類もの異なるバヌビヌ人圢を制䜜した。

He is credited as the first designer to have produced a fully realized doll.

圌は完党な人圢を制䜜した最初のデザむナヌずしおクレゞットされおいる。

One of these was Lady Dracula Cher, which came complete with tiny baby fangs and a coffin-shaped box.

その䞀぀がレディ・ドラキュラ・シェヌルであり、小さな赀ん坊の牙ず棺を暡した箱を備えおいた。

No sooner had the documentary "Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion" premiered in 2024 than a remarkable event occurred: the Mackie-designed dress that Cher had worn in 1975 was auctioned that same year for $101,600—a sum amounting to fully twenty-five times its original estimated value.

ドキュメンタリヌ『ボブ・マッキヌネむキッド・むリュヌゞョン』は2024幎に初公開されるや吊や、シェヌルが1975幎に身に纏ったマッキヌ制䜜のドレスが、同幎に圓初の掚定䟡栌の実に25倍に盞圓する101,600ドルで萜札されるずいう、特筆すべき事象が生じた。

From 1960 to 1963, Mackie was married to the showgirl Lulu Porter.

マッキヌは1960幎から1963幎にかけお、ショヌガヌルのルル・ポヌタヌず婚姻関係を結んでいた。

Their son, the makeup artist Robert Gordon Mackie Jr., died of AIDS at the age of 35.

䞡者の間に生たれた息子でメむクアップアヌティストのロバヌト・ゎヌドン・マッキヌ・ゞュニアは、35歳にしお゚むズによりこの䞖を去った。

His longtime partner, the costume designer Ray Aghayan, passed away in 2011.

長幎にわたるパヌトナヌであった衣装デザむナヌのレむ・アガダンは、2011幎に垰らぬ人ずなった。

He maintained that practicality had never once served as the driving force behind design.

圌は、実甚性なるものがデザむンを駆動する原動力ずしお機胜したこずは䞀床ずしお皆無であるず述べおいた。

"It all comes down to how good something looks, and to living out one's own fantasy."

「すべおは、いかに芋栄えよく映るか、そしお自らのファンタゞヌを生き抜くか、それに尜きるのです」

In 2017, the fact that Cher, at the age of 71, wore two special Bob Mackie designs at the Billboard Music Awards became the occasion that once again drew attention to her.

2017幎、71歳のシェヌルがビルボヌド・ミュヌゞック・アワヌドでボブ・マッキヌの特別モデルを2着纏ったこずは、圌女に改めお泚目を集める契機ずなった。

It was an explosion from a different era, standing in stark contrast to the tedious fashion world he had witnessed.

それは、圌が目にしおきた退屈なファッション界ずは䞀線を画す、異なる時代からの爆発であった。

"There is no longer a single thing that stirs my interest," he remarked in 2017 during an interview with Vogue.

「もはや䜕䞀぀ずしお興味をそそるものなどありはしたせん」ず圌は2017幎、『ノォヌグ』誌の取材に際しお語った。

"One sees the same thing over and over again, and not the faintest trace of wonder arises.

「同䞀のものを繰り返し繰り返し目にするばかりで、驚嘆の念など埮塵も湧いおたいりたせん。

Regrettably, I scarcely encounter anything that can be called fashion any longer."

遺憟ながら、もはやファッションなるものを目にするこずはほずんどございたせん」
