MOST WANTED: Black beaded with rhinestone trim Alexis gown

This is my very top favorite Alexis gown from Dynasty, and one of my top three favorites from the show.  It has several elements that I really like.  I like the color black, I like the zig-zag beading, and I like the extra pop of the crystal trim around the edges and waist, which gives some added interest.  This design is also more classic and less 80's flamboyant, as many of Joan's gowns on Dynasty were.  Nolan drew inspiration from old Hollywood glamour for many of his designs, and this gown was one of them.

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

MOST WANTED: Red velvet bows Elizabeth Taylor gown

This gown was made for Elizabeth Taylor by Nolan, and was worn on the cover of the December 1985 issue of Vanity Fair, as well as for the photo shoot that was used for the pictorial.  I am not sure if Elizabeth ever wore this gown to any functions or in other photo shoots.  I like the red velvet material, it's simplicity in the basic regal cut but accentuated with the bows at the shoulders.  Nolan Miller had a great talent for designing gowns for Elizabeth that made her look glamorous, sexy, and elegant over age 50.  Obviously Elizabeth had a lot to do with the success of the designs, as she was a gorgeous woman, but I think it takes talent to combine all of those attributes into one gown for a woman of that age.

WANTED: Sky blue beaded paisley Krystle dress suit

This beautiful suit is comprised of a jacket patterned with a beaded paisley design with beaded horizontal stripes in the background, and a matching long skirt with the same beaded stripes.  Linda wore this for a photo shoot that was used for several Dynasty ads and promos.  Krystle, or really Rita in disguise as Krystle, wore this suit to a party when the Colby family of California came to visit Denver.  I generally gravitate more towards the gowns versus suits and daywear, but as this is very formal and intricate, and basically a gown, I really like it a lot.  I also think the sky blue color is amazing on Linda.

MOST WANTED: Red taffeta floral bustier Elizabeth Taylor gown

Elizabeth Taylor had several gowns made by Nolan in this bustier, puffed shoulders, mid-length sleeve design.  Nolan even stated in interviews that he really liked this cut on her.  Elizabeth wore this gown to the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.  I think it is extremely vibrant, interesting, dramatic, and makes her figure look amazing.  I would love to own this gown, and I bet the sketch is gorgeous too (never seen the sketch thus far).

MOST WANTED: Sky blue beaded with leaf appliqués Elizabeth Taylor gown

This is another stunning gown made by Nolan Miller for Elizabeth Taylor.  The sketch details this gown as being made for Elizabeth for the Academy Awards, but I can not find any images of her in it at an awards show.  I am not sure if she ended up wearing this gown to the Academy Awards as it was intended.  Elizabeth did wear this gown to functions though, including one honoring Princess Margaret, attended by Joan Collins also wearing Nolan Miller.

WANTED: If anyone has this gown or it's sketch, or any information on their whereabouts, please let me know!



WANTED: Pale gray dress with fox trimmed cape Dominique ensemble

This is one of the first outfits we see Dominique in, and it certainly leaves a lasting impression.  This outfit consists of a pale gray long sleeved dress worn under an asymmetrical fox fur trimmed cape. The outfit is really quite simple, yet the asymmetrical cut of the cape gives it a very modern and unique look, while still chic and luxurious.  Dominique wears this ensemble the first time she ever meets Alexis at her penthouse, which results in a very memorable scene between the two ladies.
