Mackie, hailed as a "designer to the stars," garnered nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award, and three Academy Award nominations over the course of his career—one of which was for Funny Girl, starring Barbra Streisand, in which she wore a sheer, bat-winged gown.
被誉为“明星设计师”的麦基,其职业生涯中斩获九项艾美奖、一项托尼奖,并三度获得奥斯卡提名——其中一次即因芭芭拉·史翠珊主演的《妙女郎》而获,她在该片中身着一袭透明蝙蝠翼长裙。

When Marilyn Monroe delivered her breathy, seductive rendition of "Happy Birthday" at a fundraiser for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she was wearing a sheer, beaded gown that Mackie had conceived in a sketch.
当玛丽莲·梦露在约翰·F·肯尼迪总统与民主党全国委员会的筹款活动上,以气息撩人、极尽诱惑之能事的方式演绎《生日快乐》之际,她所身着的,正是麦基在草图中构想出的一袭透明珠饰长裙。
His influence is still discernible in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.
他的影响力在肯达尔·詹娜与贝拉·哈迪德的风格中依稀可辨。

当泰勒·斯威夫特意欲在2025年专辑《The Life of a Showgirl》封面上呈现歌舞女郎的形象时,她亦求助于麦基的若干原创作品。
Sequins and embellishment were his innate weapons of choice — he also bore such sobriquets as "Sultan of Sequins," "Rajah of Rhinestones," and "Master of Sparkle" — yet he adhered to a simple maxim: "You're not trying to change anybody; you're just trying to make them look the best they've ever looked," as he put it in 2018.
亮片与缀饰乃其与生俱来的利器——他另兼“亮片苏丹”“水钻王公”及“闪光大师”诸绰号——然而他秉持一则朴素的箴言:“你无意改造任何人,你只是力图使他们呈现出前所未有的最佳风貌,”他于2018年如是说。
Tributes poured in from fellow designers as well as from those fortunate enough to have worn his creations.
致敬,来自同行设计师以及那些有幸身着其作品的人。
The actress Kristin Chenoweth hailed him as a "legend," while the designer Isaac Mizrahi conveyed his grief in just two words: "heartbroken."

On the Broadway stage, Mackie served as costume designer for the casts of the 1971 production of "On the Town" and the 1995 production of "Moon Over Buffalo."
在百老汇的舞台上,麦基曾先后为1971年《锦城春色》与1995年《月光照水牛城》的演员阵容担纲服装设计。
His creative footprint also extended to the satirical musical revue "Together" starring Burnett, Debbie Reynolds' 1976 show "Debbie," Liza Minnelli's 1999 "Minnelli on Minnelli," and, more recently, costume design for the cast of "The Cher Show"—the latter of which earned him a Tony Award.
其创作足迹亦延伸至伯内特主演的讽刺歌舞剧《拼凑在一起》、黛比·雷诺兹1976年的《黛比》、丽莎·明奈利1999年的《明奈利论明奈利》,以及晚近为《雪儿秀》演员阵容所作的服装设计——后者更令他荣膺托尼奖。
Mackie, a native of Southern California, was steeped from an early age in the notion of Hollywood cinematic glamour and drew profound inspiration from Technicolor musicals.
麦基出身于南加州,幼年时便浸润于好莱坞电影魅力的理念之中,深受特艺七彩音乐片的启迪。
He would conceive and sketch elaborate costumes for his mother and sister, and he also threw himself into designing costumes and sets for his high school theatrical productions.
他会为母亲和姐姐构想精致的服装并绘制草图,亦积极参与高中戏剧的服装与布景设计。
He first attended Pasadena City College, where he studied advertising and illustration, before going on to pursue costume design at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles.
他先入帕萨迪纳城市学院研习广告与插画,随后赴洛杉矶乔伊纳德艺术学院攻读服装设计。
He was also an aficionado of all the variety shows and pop stars of the 1950s and 1960s, harbouring a particular fascination for their dazzlingly resplendent wardrobes.
他亦是20世纪50年代与60年代所有综艺节目及流行明星的拥趸,尤其痴迷于他们璀璨夺目的衣橱。
He initially worked under the costume designer Edith Head, after which he secured a position on The Carol Burnett Show.
他起初为服装设计师伊迪丝·海德效力,其后谋得了《卡罗尔·伯内特秀》的职位。
He and Burnett maintained an intimate, unwavering friendship, and together they shaped a host of unforgettable characters — Nora Desmond, Eunice, and her interpretation of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind, the incarnation celebrated as 'Star O'Hara' — at which point she was clad in that dress fashioned from the green curtains still hanging on the rod.
他与伯内特之间维系着一份亲密无间的友谊,二人携手塑造了诸多令人难以忘怀的角色——诺拉·德斯蒙德、尤妮斯,以及她在《乱世佳人》中对斯嘉丽·奥哈拉的诠释,亦即素有“明星奥哈拉”之誉的那一形象——彼时她身着那件悬于杆上的绿色窗帘裁制而成的裙装。
'I relish doing things that are a bit of fun,' Mackie remarked in a 1999 interview with a reporter.
“我钟情于做些饶有趣味的事情,”麦基在1999年接受记者采访时如是说。
'One week I may have to transform Carol into a thoroughly unglamorous postal worker, and the next, who knows what I'll be called upon to do.'
“这一周我或许得把卡罗尔塑造成一个毫无魅力的邮政工人,下一周谁又晓得我须得做些什么呢。”
(That Star O'Hara dress has now become part of the collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.)
(明星奥哈拉的那条裙装如今已成为史密森尼美国国家历史博物馆馆藏的一部分。)
MacLaine's television career extended to The Sonny and Cher Show, the origins of which can be traced back to Cher's earlier guest appearance on Burnett's program, at which point she had already begun to develop feelings for him.
麦基在电视领域的职业生涯延续至《桑尼和雪儿秀》,其缘起可追溯至雪儿此前客串伯内特节目期间,彼时她对他已渐生好感。
He once admitted that her portrayal of the character Laverne—clad in a leopard-print jumpsuit and dangling earrings—ranked among his most beloved roles.
他曾坦言,她所塑造的拉弗恩一角——身着豹纹连体裤、佩戴垂坠耳环——堪称他最为钟爱的角色之一。
When Cher pivoted toward film and received an invitation to the Academy Awards, both he and Cher shifted toward a more overtly sensual style.
当雪儿转向电影并受邀参加奥斯卡颁奖典礼之际,他与雪儿皆转向了更为性感的风格。
Every beaded, midriff-baring ensemble she wore on those otherwise staid red carpets was of Mackie's creation.
她在那些沉闷红毯上所穿的所有珠饰、露脐的服装均出自麦基之手。
In 1974, Mackie accompanied Cher to the Met Gala, where she wore what may well rank among the most notorious so-called "naked dresses" of all time: a sheer, beaded gown trimmed with white feathered sleeves and a white feathered hem.
1974年,麦基陪同雪儿出席大都会艺术博物馆慈善晚宴,彼时她身着一袭或可堪称史上最为声名卓著的所谓“裸裙”之一:一件透明的珠饰长裙,缀以白色羽毛袖与白色羽毛裙摆。
She and the dress ultimately appeared together on the cover of Time magazine.
她与这条裙装最终一同登上了《时代》杂志封面。
"These costumes are sometimes mistaken for fashion, but they are like the costumes worn by characters in a play," Mackie said in 1999.
“这些服装有时会被误认为是时尚,但它们就像戏剧中角色的戏服,”麦基在1999年说。
"I want to make people happy.
“我想让人们开心。
I want people to say, 'Isn't that amusing?' or 'Isn't that bold?'"
我想让人们说‘那不是很有趣吗?’或者‘那不是很大胆吗?’”
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Mackie notched up a string of successes in the retail sector: in 1982 he launched a ready-to-wear line, which ultimately earned him a place on the runways of New York Fashion Week; in addition, he was one of QVC's earliest partners.
麦基在20世纪80年代至90年代间于零售领域屡有建树,1982年推出成衣系列,最终得以登上纽约时装周的T台,此外,他还是QVC的早期合作伙伴。
The naked-dress craze did nothing but intensify, yet Mackie, in his later years, regarded it with considerable disdain.
裸裙的风靡不过是愈演愈烈罢了,然而麦基晚年对此却颇不以为然。
"You watch the award shows and you go, 'Oh, cover up! Put it away! Honey, I don't need to see all that!' It's gotten so vulgar that you don't even want to look at it," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2024.
“你观看颁奖典礼时会不禁感叹,‘哦,快遮起来!收起来!亲爱的,我实在无需目睹那一切!’它已变得如此粗俗不堪,令人甚至不愿再投以一瞥,”他在2024年对《好莱坞报道》如是说。
"I watched the Met Gala and I was bored — everybody's exposed, the same copycat dresses — and I turned it off.
“我观看大都会艺术博物馆慈善晚宴时只觉兴味索然——人人皆暴露无遗,千篇一律的仿制裙——我便关掉了。
If you've seen one Kardashian, you've seen them all.
你若见过一位卡戴珊,便等同于见过她们所有人。
And we've seen them all already."
而我们早已将她们所有人尽收眼底了。”
Mackie also created dozens of Barbie dolls for Mattel in a myriad of forms, with a diverse array of face molds, body types, and narrative backstories.
麦基亦为美泰公司缔造了数十款形态各异的芭比娃娃,其脸型、体型与故事线纷繁多样。
He is widely credited as the first designer to craft a fully realized doll persona.
他被公认为首位塑造出完整娃娃形象的设计师。
One such creation was Vampire Cher — complete with sharp little fangs and packaged in a coffin-shaped box.
其中之一便是德古拉夫人雪儿——生有尖利小獠牙,包装盒则呈棺椁之形。
Mackie was married to the showgirl Lulu Porter from 1960 to 1963; his son, the makeup artist Robert Gordon Mackie Jr., died of AIDS at the age of thirty-five.
麦自1960年迄1963年间与歌舞女郎露露·波特缔结连理;其子、化妆师小罗伯特·戈登·麦基,于三十五岁之龄殁于艾滋病。
His longtime partner, the costume designer Ray Aghayan, passed away in 2011.
其长期伴侣、服装设计师雷·阿加扬则于2011年辞世。
In 2017, Cher, then 71 years old, once again became the cynosure of all eyes as she appeared at the Billboard Music Awards arrayed in two spectacular gowns custom-made for her by Bob Mackie.
2017年,时年71岁的雪儿再度成为万众瞩目的焦点——她身披两套由鲍勃·麦基量身定制的华服亮相公告牌音乐奖颁奖典礼。
That visual impact, as though hailing from another era, stood in stark contrast to the dreary fashion world he beheld all around him.
那恍若来自另一个时代的视觉冲击,与周遭那个令他所目睹的乏味时尚世界判然有别。
"Nowadays it has become utterly banal," he candidly remarked in a 2017 interview with Vogue.
“如今已然乏善可陈,”他在2017年接受《Vogue》采访时坦言。
"It is nothing more than witnessing the same spectacle over and over again, with no sense of wonder any longer.
“无非是周而复始地目睹同一番景象,再无惊艳之感。
Regrettably, you seldom have the opportunity to appreciate fashion in its truest sense anymore."
遗憾的是,真正意义上的时尚,你已鲜有机会领略了。”
