The Day 1980s Glamour Died
Wear your shoulder pads at half mast and dramatically drop your black fishnet veil over your face, because Nolan Miller, the genius responsible for defining 1980's glamour, passed away in his sleep on Wednesday night from cancer at the age of 79. You know how your mother wore a drapey green lamé cocktail dress to her job's Christmas party, because Alexis Carrington wore something similar on Dynasty? Nolan designed that look your mother was trying to achieve. (Oh, and yes, I was talking to myself in those last two sentences.)
Nolan's friend and muse Joan Collins broke the sad news on Twitter about his death on Thursday morning. Joan also said a few touching words about Nolan to The Hollywood Reporter and it's best if you picture her saying this while lying on a mountain of gowns Nolan designed for her and crying into a crystal goblet of champagne and diamonds.
"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."
Nolan received 6 Emmy nominations for the costumes he designed for Dynasty. Nolan also designed costumes for T.J. Hooker, Hotel and The Colbys. Last year, he retired from QVC after designing a jewelry collection and Dynasty-inspired clothing line for them for 20 years.
Nolan Miller is now up in heaven, designing the perfect power suits for the angels to wear while they take over each other's companies. Rest in place, Nolan Miller.

"[The costume jewelry] is affordable, which might be fun." Thanks a bunch, Aaron! xD
Yes, yes, very sad.
Now, to the "REAL" story-
WHERE is YANNI, Linda???
What have you DONE with his luxurious locks??
We. NEED. To. Know.
**continue on with mourning a fine man**
RIP
RIP Mr. Miller -- he dressed pretty much every ho' on TV for a while during the 80s. Add Carol Burnett and Mary Tyler Moore to the list
ETA: Nolan Miller and Bob Mackie dressed pretty much every ho'... no disrespect intended to Mr. Mackie

RIP. After reading this sad news, I went up to check on my Nolan Miller from the mid-80's. Purple patterned silk, elasticized drop-waist, 3/4 sleaves, mid-calf length, and fabulous shoulder pads. A great dress that harkened back to the 40's padded shoulders.

MizRo: I had a vintage store for a number of years. ;) My favourite piece is a 60's Pucci - skirt and top. Apart from the army pants, hoodies and rubber boots I wear for work now, I dress vintage...some understated, and some not so much! And am totally gaga for vintage jewels...LOVE!

Fashion is a fickle bitch: to this day, the 30's 40's, 60's (both Jackie O and gypsy stylings)and early 70's are my fave fashions: I still love the glamorous little suits/dresse/shoes/lingerie of the 30's, 40's, 60's and the flowy, colorful dashikis/wraparound skirts/wide legged pants of the 70's.
OH NO!!!! Going to bedazzle a blazer now!
It's a sad day. His glamor was legendary.

clairey claire--sorry I spelled your name wrong before!
clairey clare, thank you. Jilly's books sound a bit like Jackie's. Wonder if that's where Jackie got the idea for hers. Anyway, yes, my eyeballs had already zoomed in on the The Rutshire (snicker) Chronicles starting with Riders.
Will definitely look for these at the library, if not at the used bookstore. Thanks for bringing them to my attention. I love to read--mysteries, thrillers, etc.--but like to throw in some trashy glamour every once in a while.
Ho-tell, never read any jackie Collins, but Jilly Cooper is set amongst the flashy horsie set in 80's England. Backstabbing, bitching and shagging galore. I highly recommend. Try Riders, Polo and Rivals- by far the best.

clairey clare are Jilly Cooper novels like Jackie Collins novels? I'm on Amazon looking 'cause you got me curious.
As I said yesterday in another post, rest in sparkling peace, Mr. Miller.

Nolan also designed costumes for T.J. Hooker, Hotel and The Colbys.

I first read "Colbys" as "Cosby" and thought well, there's an odd show to throw into the mix. Like he designed those sweaters or something.
*whispers* I own jellies! And lots of big chunky jumpers and bright leggings. East London fashion is kinda 80's I guesss, lots of washed denim and scarlet lipstick.

I thought 80s fashion was ugly even in the 80s. I used to cut the shoulder pads they put in everything. Big sweater and stirrup pants? So unflattering. Neon colors? Shield my eyes! And don't get me started on jellies (shoes).
...
--------------------------------------
Lol! I loved jellies! I was a small child when the 80's ended, so that's my excuse, but if those shoes came back into style, I'd wear them in a heartbeat. They'd be my CROCS.

same here, always been a minimalist, the only thing I change up with the seasons or trends are accessories, but I love my quality basics.

I'm no fashion expert, but seems to me the glamorous shoulder pad 80s of Nolan Miller were an homage to the glamorous shoulder pad 1930s 40s and 50s. Except now in color and with feathered hairstyles.
Crazyin: me too. Style does not equal trendy.
Edit: not that you can't be stylish if you follow a trend, either. You know what I mean.
Lucifer, don't forget also in Jilly Cooper novels. The true picture of 80's life

But I've always been a fashion minimalist. I usually wear a black top, bluejeans, and black shoes. I try to make sure they fit right and are quality. That's how I've dressed practically all my life.
Lol I'm pretty sure the average Joe/Jane in the street did not dress "glamorous" in the 80s, only people on TV.
I fuckin miss the 80's...

word!
'We are responsible for what we do unless we are celebrities.'
80's fashion sucks huge balls, but compared with today's trend of looking as much as a hooker as possible, I think it was an era of glamour and class.
I want to die in my sleep, specially if I have an awfully painful disease such as cancer.

That was the last era of glamour in America. Then came the ninties and grunge. sigh.

"I didn't know whether to shit or go blind, so I closed one eye and farted"
I WISH I had been around in this era ( well I was born in 82 but was more into knitted tank tops and dayglo socks than power suits). I love it. I have a fabulous black sparkly cocktail dress with shoulder pads and random long flowing scarf attached that I found in a vintage shop, it is AMAZING but I've never had the balls to wear it.

G'night, funnyman. We hardly knew 'ye.
i was born in the '80s. those years must be the tackiest as far as fashion is concerned but i still love em :D and dynasty was the shit!!
'We are responsible for what we do unless we are celebrities.'
Those actually are really beautiful clothes, glamorous, made for a woman's body. Hope you are still designing in Heaven, Nolan Miller.
R.I.P. whoever you are, and thanks for the shoulder pads I guess.
