An over-sized, standout coffee table fashion book to add to your collection is Decades: A Century of Fashion by “The King of Vintage”, Cameron Silver. In the presence of journalist Suzy Menkes, Laudomia Pucci, Marchesa Cristina Pucci di Barsento (widow of Emilio Pucci), and Contessa Sibilla della Gherardesca, Emilio Pucci hosted the Italian launch of the book, which showcases the past 100 years in fashion, decade by decade. Over 150 photographs, including original designer sketches, are accompanied by Cameron’s witty and perceptive commentary while each decade’s key designers are also highlighted.
Named one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Names and Faces in Fashion” in 2002, Cameron Silver has owned and managed the LA-based boutique by the same name since 1997. Silver has changed the way Hollywood perceives vintage fashion with Vanity Fair magazine stating that, “When a star says they’re wearing vintage, it’s often thanks to him.”
