Bob Mackie

This is my all time favorite designer. I fell madly in love with all things Bob Mackie when I saw my first Barbie done by him. That would be Madam Du from 1997. Granted she wasn't his first but she was the first one I saw! I have done my best to grab up everything I can of his girls every since then! :-) This is what I have been able to add to my collection.

1996

Moon Goddess^® Barbie^® wears a shimmering midnight blue sheath covered with sequins. A fanciful "moonbeam" drapes over her shoulder and falls into an elegant floor length cape, accented with stars. Her hair is swept up beneath a deep blue hat and dangling crescent earrings complete the fantasy.

Green has never looked so good. Meet Emerald Embers™ Barbie^® doll from the Jewel Essence Collection™ by Bob Mackie. Every doll in the collection sparkles in the color of a jewel and is adorned with beautiful Swarovski^® crystals. Here, Barbie, embraced in deep emerald green, glows like a jewel of the Amazon. Her eyes seem to smolder like the crystal rhinestones on her dress. Poised and regal, she is a tribute to the jewel of kings.
 

1997

Madame du Barbie^® doll captures the majesty and opulent elegance of the eighteenth century royal court of France. Her gown is a breathtaking confection of ice blue brocade with bead and jewel-embellished rococo embroidery. The coiffure and headpiece are appropriate for the most elegant of royal occasions.
 

1998

The International Beauty Collection is designed to celebrate worldwide beauty in the dramatic fantasy style of Bob Mackie. Barbie^® as the Fantasy Goddess of Asia^® is inspired by the bold colors and icons of the orient in a striking gown of chartreuse and green. Delicate sheer illusion netting and dazzling beading accent her bodice, and a dramatic fan decorated with a dragon spreads behind her as a brilliant frame to the total creation.

1999

In celebration of Barbie^® doll's 40th anniversary, designer Bob Mackie pulled out all the stops to create Le Papillon™ Barbie^® -- his fantasy image of the shimmering wonder of a butterfly. Barbie^® is draped in a dramatic, full-length, strapless, fitted gown of velvety black with circular train and black stockings. Her slim silhouette is adorned with pink and silvery embroidery, and two shimmering rose-colored rhinestones. Large black butterfly wings with silvery and rose-tinted embroidery, speckled with matching rhinestones coordinate with her dress. A fabulous headpiece befitting the bold beauty of a butterfly showcases her radiant pink hair and lavender eyes.
