The Gatsby Summer Afternoon 2010

Cicely at the 26th Annual San Francisco Art Deco Society Gatsby Summer Afternoon, September 2010 at the famous Dunsmuir House in Oakland.

I just love this event! Putting outfits together from the 1920's and 30's customers and myself is always a pleasure. The weather was absolutely perfect, probably the best the Gastby Picnic has ever seen. Spectacular ambiance!

S.F Symphony Gala: Opening Night

I recentely attended San Francisco Symphony Gala and it was amazing. The clothing was over the top! Beautiful woman in their jewel tone full length gowns, I almost (just ALMOST) felt conservative in my 1960s sterling silver dress from Egypt, you be the judge (as seen below.)

The Great Gatsby Ball

Decades of Fashion was honored to be the judges at this years Great Gatsby Ball. Considering the economical climate, what a fabulous success having well over 100 attendees more than last year and all for a great cause, the Variety Children's Charity of Northern California.

Here is Jason and I in our authentic 1920s clothing judging all the fun loving participants at the ball.

The Black & White Ball

Day of Black and White Ball, of course, wearing black & white and had so much fun dressing people for it!

Waiting for my coach to arrive and take me to the ball.

Partner in crime, Soleil, and me in my vintage 1950s Dress, hat-a recreation from my store, at the ball.

Approached by fellow diva, we didn't want to miss the opportunity of having our photo taken together at the ball.

The Cool Black Couture Ball

The inspiration for this particular Ball is based on the multicultural material rediscovered from the 1920s,30s, and 40s. It was not just a dance culture but a fashion culture as well, both of which are the main highlights of the evening.

Decades of Fashion looks forward to be apart of this event, since vintage fashion is our strong suite we will contuct a fashion parade. There will be a grand prize for best dressed male and best dressed female of the evening. So, dress to the nines!
