We should all be wearing our shoulder pads at half-mast today, as the genius responsible for designing the iconic costumes for Joan Collins and the other female cast members of Dynasty, Mr Nolan Miller, passed away on Wednesday night, aged 79.
He was also a six times Emmy winner for his costume designs, as well as designing outfits for TJ Hooker and The Colbys. He also designed a best selling range of clothing and jewels for QVC for over 20 years.
Joan Collins had this to say about her beloved chum:
"He was a huge part of my life. He was an innovator and helped define fashion through his lifelong contributions. His legacy is enormous and not only me but every one who knew him will miss the humor warmth and joy he gave generously. He was a rare gem - one of the truly good human beings in this world - and I am simply devastated he is gone."
I heard she had it stipulated in her contract (read that as inked into her contract with blood), that she got to keep all her outfits Miller designed for her for the duration of her time on the show. Clever girl.
Feast your eyes on some of these fabulous Miller creations. Can our Joan work a fur hat and a fishnet veil or what?
I think i might have to wear my velvet turban and some 'go faster' stripy blusher in memory of Mr Miller this evening, (i've got the gold lame and shoulder pads on already of course).
