On April 17, 2010 the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis will host Dada Ball 2010: Dada Rocks with Decades to benefit the Museum's educational and outreach programs.

Our Honorary Chair "Dream Team" includes vintage couture guru and taste maker Cameron Silver - named by Time Magazine as one of the 25 most influential people in fashion, St. Louis native and fashion insider Derek Blasberg, 17-year old Vogue supermodel sensation Karlie Kloss, and Academy Award nominated actress and Golden Globe winner, muse, model and designer Chloë Sevigny.

The evening of the Dada Ball will feature a red carpet-worthy vintage couture fashion show with designs from Cameron's celebrated boutique Decades, cocktails and dinner by Winslow's Home, and an auction of high end and unique fashion-related items. More than 350 of St. Louis' most fashionable and influential people will be in attendance, plus several hundred more at the legendary Dada Ball After Party, starting at
