Alexis, I am in the process of buying the red Alexis suit and hat. I was recently offered a possible trade with the suit for the periwinkle Krystle negligee set... I am not sure what I should do.
Colbyco, great find! It is even more beautiful in color. Too bad Linda never wore this on "Dynasty" as Krystle... Like I said, some of her most beautiful Nolan gowns never made it onto the show... :-/
I find all of these so fascinating to look at. Sometimes it's not so good when the clothes are just as much a character as the actual characters, but I think in this case it just emphasises things.
I think the clothes brought a cinematic opulence and real luxury to the show. No other show had custom made couture wardrobe like this.
I wholeheartedly agree. another angle I believe that there is a pic of Linda wearing this dress holding a bird.I cannot find my copy.
That's also the pic they use on the news DVD boxset -- although they've turned the dress red. I also just googled "Linda Evans holding bird" and, seriously, got this:
@nolanmillercollector I just seen this on ebay... Not really an iconic costume and would be better with the fur and turban of course. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JOAN-COLL...932773?hash=item283fe91925:g:Qr8AAOSwpuBZv9Jm
Alexis, yes! Thanks for posting the link. I helped the seller identify this costume! He didn't know what it was since all the fur had been removed-- which sadly takes away any grandeur from the piece.
Glad someone else said it lol. On the mannequin it's pretty but plain, it's amazing how much putting it on an actual human (and Joan Collins no doubt) with some accessories actually enhances the piece.
I think it needs the fur to really pop. It's well constructed but not very glamorous or memorable otherwise.
Picture 2, I like the hat and it looks like a glamorous 1960s cigarette ad, except she's holding a flower instead of a cigarette (photoshopped?) I also like the yellow Caribbean/African-style hat and outfit.
