A SONG, A CITY, A DRESS AND A LEGEND

Most iconic movies have an iconic star in an iconic dress. Jeanette MacDonald shines in MGM's spectacular movie San Francisco with Clark Gable as she sings her heart out wearing an Adrian custom made pink chiffon gown with maribou feathers. Jeanette MacDonald was a famous American soprano in the 20's and 30's and with her fiery ginger hair and pale pink gown she made such a big impression singing San Francisco in the movie with the same title, that now the song is the official song of the city. 

You don't have to be from San Francisco to want this dress, you don't have to be a fan of Jeanette MacDonald (we will never understand why, but we promise no judgement) but if you want to own a piece of American fashion and film history, this is the dress for you. The dress is quite stunning and feminine in a very light embroidered chiffon and soft maribou feathers. The inside label notes that this is the third look designed by Adrian for Ms. MacDonald for the movie.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER AND FRIENDS

Jean Paul Gaultier was in San Francisco last week celebrating his fashion in the north city by the bay. The beautiful Vanessa Getty attended the dinner in designer's honor, wearing what else but a dress by the designer himself from Decades. The dress was selected by Christos Garkinos from Decades carefully curated collection of all things Gaultier which is on sale on our website: decadestwo.com. It is not hard for Vanessa to look amazing, but in this dress, in true Gaultier form, she had all eyes on her.

FOG CITY FASHION

Well, we're on the road again. The road to San Francisco. We're so excited to bring the best of Hollywood glam to our neighbors in the north. As per the usual, we'll be hanging exquisite vintage and modern fashion treasures on our temporary racks BUT we're also bringing a specially curated group of Jean Paul Gaultier pieces from the past to the present, hand-picked by Decades co-owners Cameron Silver and Christos Garkinos, to celebrate the designers upcoming museum exhibit in SF. I posted a few pics of the goodies up for grabs below to whet your shopping appetites. Want to see more? Check out an expanded preview here.

Sadly, we'll be in San Francisco for one day only: tomorrow, March 16th. So, you know you'll be kicking it with us manana. And don't worry if you're a M-F worker bee. We'll be showcasing our wares from 1oam - 9pm at the Intercontinental Mark Hopkins, so you'll have more than enough time to swing by the trunk show after work and before drinks with the girls. Heck, you might even throw on your new Decades gear to paint the town red. TGIF, no?
