Re: I love Bob Mackie because

He's very nice!

 

I met him about ten years ago.  I went to an audience show at the Q and he met each one of us afterwards giving every audience member a pretty scarf!

Bob Mackie and Louis Del'Olio are both gentle men and gentlemen. Both have provided me with amazing pieces of clothing over the years. Their talents are "old school" which entails art, design, fashion, textiles, colors, manufacturers, and so much more! These are true professionals with quiet dignity and a grace to their achievements. Only programs worth watching on QVC.

     Exactly!!!  Don't purchase much anymore, but I always try to watch their shows!!  So talented, true artists....very enjoyable vendors!

I agree. Both men are classy and gentlemen and gentle men.

I like him too but wish he would add some "younger" looking apparel to his line.


@Mistreatedbycs  I agree.  So many pretty things, and I've bought a few for me (more for my mother), but i've passed on more than I bought, even though I like them, because I think they're for somebody older than me (and I'm 64!)  

 

The items I've gotten are two jackets, which I love, and one sweater which I liked better on the models.  Still, I'd like to get more from him.

I think his clothers are wonderful, but they don't work for me. I need softer colors, and small prints. I am a summer, and petite. The bright colors aren't good for me, and splashy prints ,wear me.

 

I did see one blouse, I think might work for me. But ,for people that can wear his clothing, I am sure they will love them for years, because, I am sure they are good quality

Love Bob Mackie - a class act and so talented!   Anything I have bought from his line has been very good quality and I always get compliments.

@cherry  I like the bright colors and prints.  I'm not so much into the sequins.  These are the jackets I have.  The fist one I was certain about online.  I was less sure about the print in second one .... I don't love the flowers .... but it fits beautifully and adds a nice pop of color.  Actually, both jackets fit like they were made for me (I'm petite, and got them in the XXS).  The sweater I don't like has a looser fit, and the pattern doesn't work as well for me in person.

Re: I love Bob Mackie because

20 hearts already for the OP so guess liking Bob M is 100%.  One posting I just read - but his clothes don't work for me.  Agree!  Too busy in colors - prints - and designs.  He loves to create but, to me, his ideas are in the Quacker F style.  Over done.and/or old looking.

Re: I love Bob Mackie because

I don't think they are old at all. They just aren't the kind of thing that suits me. I am sure other ladies look lovely in them....
