Furniture World Magazine

Bob Mackie, world-renowned for dressing the most beautiful women in the fashion and entertainment industries, will make a special appearance at the Oriental Weavers of America showroom July 20th, during the International Rug Market. OWA, located in showroom 3A through 3C, will host the Mackie extravaganza at the AmericasMart in Atlanta to launch several new patterns. The 10-color, 2-ply, 1050 denier heat set polypropylene product offers an impressive plush pile height. Suggested retail price for a 6x9 is $299. The Bob Mackie Home Collection flourishes with rich jewel-tone shades and explodes with patterns ranging from the exotic to the sublime. Mackie’s uncanny ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary is evident in his furniture collections. Mackie’s partnership with OWA, which was introduced in January 2000, is a giant step forward in the world of home fashions. The rug collection is woven from a stunning palette of popular accent colors brilliantly calculated to coordinate with the diverse taste of today’s furnishings, fabrics and accessories. The opulent area rugs are intricately detailed and superbly woven with the reputation for quality for which OWA is known. Recently, in a consumer survey conducted with 1,700 affluent women, Mackie was named 16th out of the top 100 names in luxury. Ranking higher than brand names such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Calvin Kleine and Jean Paul Gaultier, Mackie’s designs are said to be "as stunning as the women he dresses."
