Soap fans usually get along as cats and dogs, each defending the show of their choice and throwing arguments why their favorite soap is better than the other. One field where no one can beat Dynasty fans is fashion. Dynasty is the most glamorous soap of all times. Powerful companies, expensive cars, mansions, exclusive wardrobe, jewelry... That is Dynasty!

This section is devoted to Dynasty fashion of the 80's. Thanks to a very talented designer, Nolan Miller, but also to the gorgeous actors that wore his designs, Dynasty dictated fashion trends of the era. In the street, at the office, stores, galas, there were women copying hair styles and clothes Dynasty stars wore on the show. Gray haired men in tuxedos were a catch just like Blake Carrington was.

Out of this world jewelry Dynasty stars wore also became a hit and was copied as well. Famous cosmetic companies started naming perfumes after the names of Dynasty characters.

Evening toilets, feathers, silk and lace, furs and fur coats of many wild animals, were Dynasty's trade mark. Alexis's hats and Krystle's shoulder pads started a trend of its own. There were many scenes in bed and the special attention was given to what ladies slept in. On the other hand, creators didn't have to worry about what would male characters wear in bed. It brought tons of joy to Dynasty fans, both men and women, to see their favorite male characters sleep in the nude. Dynasty also dictated a trend of what business women and should wear in the office. Though far less glamorous than women's wardrobe, evening suites men wore at special occasions, jeans and sweaters for their afternoons, are not to be forgotten either.

Dynasty fashion marked the 80's. So much glamour and bliss we rarely see on television, little less in ordinary life. We remember that time with nostalgia. All we can do is browse through the Internet for the pictures and souvenirs of the time gone by. Maybe biting for some of Nolan Miller's exclusive designs at the auction.

Mr. Miller's life and career sound like a film scenario. He was born on January 8, 1935 in Burkbarnette, Texas. He grew up around the rugged life of the oil fields of Texas and Louisiana, but he was captivated by the beautiful ladies and clothes he saw on the movie screens on Saturday afternoons. From an early age he wanted to design clothes in Hollywood. 

After graduating from high school, he studied at the Choinard Art Institute in Los Angeles. At the time he graduated, he found the big studio system, which used to apprentice young talents, no longer existing. Not finding work in the film industry, Mr. Miller took a job in a florist shop in Beverly Hills. There he met and became friends with another young man struggling for Hollywood success, Aaron Spelling. Through this connection he made his first break into Hollywood designing costumes for the "June Allyson Show".

Many of Miller's best-known creations appeared in television shows produced by Aaroon Spelling: Charlie's Angels, The Love Boat, Hotel, Hart to Hart and many other hit television series feature costumes he designed. Still, he is best known for creating the elegant "Dynasty" look. Designs created on Dynasty became famous world wide. Women wanted to look like their favorite characters, they wanted to be Krystle and Alexis. Wearing clothes their favorite heroines wore became a trend for thousands of women.
