the Catwalk is a reminder of the beauty and creativity that can
result from allowing pageantry and costume to find a home in Carnival.
More specifically, On the Catwalk is a tribute to the legendary
fashion designer Bob Mackie.
Come Monday, September 25 in Cascade, band leader Trevor Wallace
and his Committee will offer a glimpse of On the Catwalk for Carnival
2007 at a special viewing.
Robert Gordon Mackie is a world renowned fashion designer best known
for his costumes for Cher and Carol Burnett.
He has outfitted celebrities such as Diana Ross, Elton John, Raquel
Welch, Tina Turner, Oprah Winfrey, Bette Milder, Sharon Stone and
Judy Garland to name a few.
Mackie is often called the sultan of sequins, the rajah of rhinestones
and known for his sparkling and imaginative costume designs.
He has won seven (7) Emmy Awards for his designs and was thrice
nominated for an Academy Award.
Mackie has said: “A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid
to be noticed.” And as such, that’s what the band offers
-- a chance to be noticed and admired.
Having designed for television, film, dance, opera, Broadway and
Las Vegas, Mackie’s creations are ideally suited for a Trinidad
& Tobago Carnival interpretation.
