The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles presents a two day vintage marketplace focused on authentic and reproduction men’s and women’s vintage apparel and accessories appropriate to wear to ADSLA’s signature event, the elegant Avalon Ball (May 16) on Catalina Island.
In addition to true vintage day and evening wear, shoppers will find hats, Art Deco era jewelry, shoes, handbags and more from 1920 - 1960.
We are excited to announce that several seminars and demonstrations will be presented by experts in vintage style. Gabriela Hernandez of Bésame Cosmetics will present a lecture on Vintage Makeup based on her book Vintage Beauty: The History of Makeup and Benny Reese of Reese’s Pieces will offer a lively seminar on vintage menswear looks for the Avalon Ball. For ladies aspiring to put together vintage inspired looks for the Ball from modern pieces, there will be a fashion talk with live models and resources for finding a wardrobe worthy of Gloria Swanson!
When you shop at our sale you are benefiting our non-profit’s work in education and historic preservation!
Prices and times for the special presentations are TBC.
