WANTED: Red taffeta Alexis gown

This gown screams the 1980's.  It is not in my top favorites, but because it so over the top and totally resembles the look of that era, I think it is a worthwhile piece.  Anything red with big shoulder plumes I think is a very "Alexis" look, which adds to its appeal.  Alexis wore this gown in Moldavia for a party honoring her daughter Amanda's future wedding to a foreign prince.  This same exact design was also done in white for Joan to wear on Dynasty in another episode from that same season.

WANTED: If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of original Nolan Miller sketches, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Celebrity Sketches

I am searching for original Nolan Miller sketches. I am interested in all of Nolan's colored sketches but in particular the sketches made for Dynasty, especially for Linda, Joan, and Diahann (and even more so their formal gowns), and also the formal gowns made for Elizabeth Taylor. But any of the large colored sketches by Nolan interest me (such as the ones posted below).

WANTED: If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of original Nolan Miller sketches, please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Leopard sequin Alexis gown

This is one of my top 10 favorite Alexis gowns.  It is just so over the top in every way, which seems befitting for the larger than life character who wore it.  I cant imagine any other character from the show being to pull of this look, but I think it looks very sexy and sophisticated on Alexis. "Alexis goes jungle!" Comprised of a strapless leopard print sequin gown with a matching sheer fur trimmed cape.  Joan wore this on Dynasty as well as in two separate photo shoots, one which took place in her own home.

Interesting trivia: I was told that Joan personally picked out this fabric herself, much to the chagrin of Nolan.  He didn't want to give Joan that much artistic authority over his designs for Alexis, for fear that she would try to take over!

WANTED: If anyone has this gown, or any information on its whereabouts, please let me know!
