RIP Nolan Miller: 1933-2012

[MrMockle]

All,

 

Some of you may already know this but fashion designer Nolan Miller passed away this week. As the fashion designer for "Dynasty" during the 1980s he created the looks for the show, including the many fabulous fur coats, acessories and trims worn throughout the show by most of the female cast members. Such weeklyfur spots were certainly a key driver in my love for fur in my adolescence. I'm sure us older members all have many fond memories of our favourite Dynasty scenes with beautiful actresses wearing his fantastic creations and furs but for those newer members do look through YouTube or pick up some of the series DVDs to see what you missed during that decade. Rest well Nolan and thank you.

The video quality is not so good, but this news report, apparently broadcast when the Dynasty series were still on air, provides valuable information about how Miller designed the opulent fashions for the show:
