Your name is Dominique Deveraux. You are a successful and wealthy chanteuse. An independent woman. The only person you rely on is yourself, just like mamma taught you. You are also, as will be later revealed during your short yet impactful Dynasty career, the half-sister of Blake Carrington. Which also makes you heir to the Carrington fortune, which obviously, as your timing is as impeccable as your outfit choices, means that, in exchange for a mere $70 million, or what you call chicken feed, you are able to lay claim to 40% of the empire. Which of course you do. And how do you do this? Fendi. Well yes, cunning and smarts also play a part, but it’s your wardrobe of cream-coloured Fendi that gives you the edge. Your coats, constructed out of long, linear panels of leather, ponyskin or fur, retain a hardness, despite the feminine roundness of their shape. Apparently, they’re inspired by the architecture of Fendi’s Roman headquarters in the Palazzo della Civilta Italiana, a building that truly means business. These are long, hitting mid-calf, and almost clinging to the curve of your legs. In your bag you carry a single bird of paradise. Because what is Dominique Deveraux if not a bird of paradise? What better symbol of beauty and strength is there? Apart from you, of course.
