The Vintage Fashion Salon

If you've attended any events sponsored by the Art Deco Society of California, you know that dressing up in deco style is part of the fun, and a preservation activity in its own right. Many of our members collect vintage fashion; others sew replicas, or study the grooming and etiquette of the era.

The Salon will be a repository of advice for those desiring to re-create the "look" of the Art Deco era -- the 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s.

Deco Q&A: We'll also post questions and answers from our panel of experts. You may submit a question to our resident authors, Derek Kerr and Maria Rivero, authors of ADSC's Vintage Fashion Guide.
