Bob Mackie sues JCPenney over alleged misuse of his name and designs

Legendary designer Bob Mackie is suing JCPenney for allegedly using his name and likeness without consent for a new fashion collection. Mackie claims he was “stunned” by the “Mackie: Bob Mackie” line, asserting he had no involvement and that it misrepresents his design ethos. The lawsuit also targets his own design group and its majority stakeholder for mismanagement.
