Cameron Silver, a fashion philanthropist, opened Decades in 1997, significantly impacting the dress code in Los Angeles by encouraging his trendsetting clientele to "dress up!"
As a renowned expert, Silver is frequently consulted by heritage houses, serving as an official ambassador for Pringle and Boucheron, and creative consultant to Azzaro. He collaborated with Vanessa Seward on design, research, and development, as well as initiating and maintaining the brand's role in celebrity dressing.
Silver has acted as creative consultant for the global launch of Samsonite's iconic Fashionaire collection and curated the MOCA exhibition, The Total Look. He also showcased his flair for accessory design with the launch of The Haskell for Decades' "Uptown/Downtown" collection and designed a collection of statement footwear inspired by the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.
Named one of Time magazine's "25 Most Influential Names and Faces in Fashion" in 2002, Silver is a favorite pundit on E! Entertainment, the Style Network, and "Fashion File." He styles celebrities for major red carpet awards appearances and has written about luxury for various publications.
Silver's passion for good design extends beyond fashion, as he is a strong advocate for preserving architectural legacy. He restored a 1930 treasure by R.M. Schindler, which was landmarked and featured in several books.
As a renowned vintage expert, Silver released a coffee table book showcasing significant 20th-century fashions and celebrities he collaborated with. The book sold out within 48 hours of release and a second edition is shipping nationwide.
Silver is currently starring in the Bravo reality show "The Dukes of Melrose" with business partner Christos Garkinos, showcasing the merging of their contemporary designer consignment shop with Decades.
