KATE THE GREAT

No matter what she wears, she captivates. She is not driven by trends, she creates them. The skinny jeans, the boho chic tops, the flat boots, the vests, the denim cut offs, and the famous retro sequin dresses, Kate Moss has inspired and continues to do so. It is her cool attitude and innate style that make her different and definitely a style authority. She has inspired many artists and photographers as well and that is what Christie's is celebrating, a collection of art inspired by Kate Moss which goes on live auction on September 25th. With photographs from Craig McDean,  Chris Levine and Allen Jones, Kate Moss has been captured by many artist creating striking images. Like the Asher Penn photographs of Kate Moss that are featured in our latest windows at Decades created by the amazing Jeff Snyder and Jarred Cairns. The art pieces come to us from Cameron Silver's personal archive and they will be on display at Decades for a limited time. Cameron too is a Moss fan and inspired by her coolness. 

Kate Moss inspires us at Decades everyday and with that feeling we put together a collection of pieces that Kate would wear. You can shop it here on our website. Some of the pieces featured on our window are Tom Ford for Gucci sequin dress, Nina Ricci powder blue fur, vintage leopard fur, Stella McCartney pant suit and Judith Leiber Swarovski evening bag and more.

RED CARPET TRANSLATED

Sunday night was a smashing good time. I don't know about you, but I had a blast at several Oscar parties and am still enjoying the thrills a girl gets from eye-spying the fashion parade on the red carpet. And, while I wish I could wear a ball gown every day, formal attire might be a bit much at say, Trader Joe's.

So, I was talking trend-spotting on the carpet with the gang at our online team and we thought it might be fun to post pieces online that were inspired by what we saw at the 84th Academy awards. Our top five favorite trends: Red Hot, True Blue, Winter Whites, Silver Medals, and Disco Queen (read sequins from head to toe). Want to get the best of Oscar glam that works from the boardroom to the bar from all your favorite designers including Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel® and Hervé Leger? Click here!

IT's MADONNA FRIDAY! AND WE'VE GOT THE INSIDE FASHION SCOOP!

I hear there is a football game happening this weekend. Whatever. Madonna is performing at halftime and that’s exciting news for everyone at Decades!

The queen of pop has always had a special place in my heart.

We are from the same state: Michigan.

Went to the same school: University of Michigan

And both became pop icons. Well, in my dreams.

Anyhow, today Madge dropped her video for Gimme All your Luvin' and the football-themed ditty has us dancing in the halls.

And here’s the inside fashion scoop: In the first set up, Madonna is wearing a leather jacket from Bebe, along with shorts from our friends Kiki de Montparnasse, and then in her lace transformation, it’s Dolce and Gabbana. (Oh and throw in a bit of Norma Kamali undergear too).

And, if you're really feeling Madonna, why not pick up a D&G beaded bustier, verrrrrrrrrrry similar to the one HRH wore to the Truth or Dare premier, available at Decades.

48 hours to the biggest show on earth. Oh, and go Giants.

Indian Summer

Fall has arrived in Southern California, believe it or not. The foliage around here is not turning the beautiful colors, but is just plain dying as the heat is reaching over 100 degrees. But, if say the weather made any kind of sense and wasn't perhaps a sign of the coming apocalypse, both of these options would be perfect for a fall look. The vintage piece on the left, designed by Galanos, is one of my favorites of all time. She is also wearing a beautiful sable wrap from Christian Dior both from the 60's. On my right, the modern dress is Dolce and Gabbana, and the fur is Rick Owens, both designed within the last few years.

TRUTH OR DARE

Madonna wore this Dolce & Gabanna body suit to the premiere of her documentary Truth or Dare in 1991. She wore it with high boots and not much else. She was going pant-less before Gaga was in Pampers. Naomi Campbell wore the body suit on the runway over a catsuit. We have the bustier version of this mixed media masterpiece in metallic disks, wooden fishes and flamingos, and variable rainbow of beads and rings. I am totally feeling both the body suit and bustier. It seems like everyone in Milan was feeling the midriff so this bustier let's you give a hint of your Gyrotonic-flat abs. Buy this before Lady Gaga or Rhianna snatch it up.
