Last night I had the honor of photographing legendary designer Bob Mackie at the red carpet screening of his new documentary “Naked Illusion” — a special event hosted by the Costume Designers Guild (CDG). ✨

Years ago, I had the privilege of photographing Bob for a CDG Magazine cover, so seeing him again felt like a full-circle moment. Beyond his brilliance as a designer, he’s one of the kindest and most generous people I’ve had the chance to work with.

Bob’s creations have shaped the very idea of glamour — from Cher’s dazzling gowns to Elton John’s unforgettable stage costumes, Diana Ross’s timeless elegance, and Carol Burnett’s iconic comedy looks. His artistry has inspired generations, and being behind the camera for him again was truly special.

What a privilege to capture an icon — then and now.
