Bob Mackie is a renowned American fashion designer, collector and creator of exquisite Barbie dolls. His work is far more splendid than the usual Barbie toys you see. They are dressed with exquisite gowns and glamour.

"The Barbies I have done are glamorous. They are very sophisticated compared to the average Barbie. These dolls are geared more towards collectors. They are fantasy, a what-if, designed from the imagination" - says Bob Mackie about his unusual craft.
