Mackie told The New Yorker in 2018, "There were a lot of people who said, 'That's not fashion!' And I said, 'Of course it's not fashion.

It's a crazy getup for attention.' And it did get attention — people talk about it still." Two years later, she won an Academy Award of her own in a Mackie design.
