WANTED: Black and white assymetrical lapel Alexis suit

Joan Collins first appeared on "Dynasty" wearing a simple black and white suit with a large dramatic hat.  This striking look really set the tone for the style of Alexis and her character wore many black and white suits throughout the shows run.  Out of the many black and white suits Alexis wore on the show, this is one of my favorites.  It is simple but unique in that it has a lapel on only one side of the jacket.  The contrasting colors of black and white in the jacket, lapel, and skirt gives it a sleek, modern, and edgy look.  The sketch for this suit is stunning, and reveals that a large black and white hat was originally part of this design.  Joan wore the large hat with the suit for promotional pictures but when the suit appeared on Dynasty a small white hat was used instead.  I prefer the dramatic wide brimmed hat of the original design.

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

My Collection: Sketch of red satin one shouldered Alexis gown

This is the Nolan Miller sketch of the red satin one shouldered gown Alexis wears in the memorable season 4 finale of Dynasty and also in the season 5 premiere.

In the season 4 finale Alexis wears this gown to Fallon's wedding ceremony at the Carrington mansion.  Before the ceremony can begin (which it never did), Alexis is arrested and taken to jail for the murder of Mark Jennings.  The episode ends with Alexis, still in her gown, hauled off to the local jailhouse, and thrown in a holding cell with prostitutes and drunkards, as she screams dramatically, "let me out of here!"  This makes for a very memorable and over the top season finale!  In the season 5 premiere Alexis makes her bail and is taken back to her penthouse by Dex and Steven.

If anyone has any information on the location of the actual gown please let me know!

MOST WANTED: Elizabeth Taylor 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).
