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 featuring 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 10:00 pm, with bites provided by Ruth's Chris Steak House and a “Best Dressed” competition produced by St. Louis Magazine.
