Decades by Cameron Silver

The most celebrated vintage fashion expert in Hollywood presents a decade-by-decade guide to the most influential looks of the last century. What Cameron Silver doesn't know about fashion is not worth knowing. Since 1997 he has owned Decades, the renowned vintage boutique on Melrose Avenue, hunting the world for couture from decades past, matching gorgeous red-carpet gowns to actresses including Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams, Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lopez. In Decades, Silver commits all his sartorial knowledge to paper in an over-sized, visually stunning book: ten chapters, each devoted to the iconic looks of a decade. Josephine Baker and Zelda Fitzgerald show off their legs in the 20s; Jackie O embodies feminine polish in the 60s; Calvin Klein's minimalism meets Jacobs' grunge remix in the 90s. This true fashion bible includes original designer sketches and patterns and photos of rare couture as styled decades ago and today. There are contributions from and interviews with movie stars, models, and style icons, fashion editors and revered designers. Decades is a fashion treasure: a century of colorful history to inspire the stylish of today for years to come.

Cameron Silver founded the Decades boutique in Los Angeles in 1997. He is a favorite pundit on E! Entertainment, the Style Network, and Access Hollywood, and was named one of Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Names and Faces in Fashion." He has written for Harper's Bazaar, Departures and C Magazine, is a consultant to various upscale brands, and is the Fashion Director for H by Halston.
