Private Notes
It's Oscar week and Decades is the fashion center for Hollywood’s most important night. Cameron is tapped to help design a vintage-inspired dress for Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy. Christos scrambles to find new inventory in time for the last minute rush on Oscar gowns while also find the perfect dress for his close friend, actress Garcelle Beauvais.
Cameron’s least favorite event, the annual Decades shoe sale, is fast approaching and Christos tries to hire a manager in time. But when crowds line up and around the block, big sales and big problems are inevitable. With Christos efforts to make the event as smooth as possible and Cameron’s constant snide remarks, the two butt heads on everything.
With wedding bells ringing for Revenge actress Ashley Madekwe, she enlists the help of Christos to find her dream wedding dress. Meanwhile, the manager search continues with a steady stream of unqualified candidates until Cameron brings in a possible solution. Christos and Cameron put their potential manager to the test at a celebrity party featuring their newly acquired vintage Biba line.
Cameron jets off to New York City to shop at an acclaimed vintage mart, hoping to add new treasures to the Decades inventory. While penny-pincher Christos has given him a budget, Cameron’s far more interested in finding hidden gems then sticking to the bottom line. Back in L.A., Christos dives into the closet of actress Monet Mazur in hopes of consigning some amazing pieces for the store.
Cameron is asked to curate an exhibit of avant-garde fashion pioneer Rudi Gernreich’s work at the Museum of Contemporary Art, dressing actress Michele Hicks in one of the designer’s signature pieces. But things quickly unravel when Cameron and Decades employee Billy have an explosive fight over a perceived slight. Christos tries to play peacemaker, but will he be able to get Cameron back on track before the big opening?
Cameron pays a visit to Dita Von Teese’s closet, which is more of a tease than anything else. Then, Decades hits the road when Cameron, Christos, and the rest of the crew head to San Francisco for a “pop-up” store event featuring their vintage collection of designer Jean Paul Gaultier. A surprise visit from an old friend, singing superstar Jody Watley, leads Christos to strike a pose.
Cameron, on his never-ending mission to acquire the world’s best vintage couture, travels to the City of Light, Paris, where he peruses flea markets and bids at high-priced auctions for one-of-a-kind items.
With money on his mind, Christos worries that Cameron’s free-wheeling spending will sink the Decades ship. As Christos attempts to stop the hemorrhaging of cash, he makes up the shortfall by raiding consigner’s closets and selling pieces to New Girl star, actor Max Greenfield.
It’s Greek Easter, which means Christos’ family is coming to Los Angeles to help him prep for his annual Easter feast, leaving Cameron to run the store. Things quickly go awry when a series of strange events occur. To escape the chaos, Cameron visits his close friend, Hollywood legend and style icon Phyllis Diller, hoping to raid her closet. Cameron also organizes a mega sale to a couple of sisters, reassuring Christos that he has the chops to fly solo.
It’s the Art of Elysium’s annual charity event, The Heaven Gala, and Cameron has been chosen as the honoree. Alongside the award, he has the added difficulties of putting together a fashion show for the star-studded event, dressing celebrity Eva Amuri, and trying to raise a million dollars for charity. In the midst of it all, Christos and Cameron get shocking news about a dress they purchased for $10,000.
Christos and Cameron are off to New York City to for another Decades “pop-up” store, this time to coincide with the biggest fashion of the season: the Met Ball. But before the store even opens, a box with half a million dollars of merchandise goes missing. Christos calms himself with a consignment visit to DJ and model Sky Nellor’s closet, while Cameron heads over to Jennifer Tilly’s place to dress her for her Broadway debut. Things look up when Cameron sells a vintage Schiaparelli for $24,000 and Christos finds a perfect dress for Sandra Bernhard. But their upswing of good luck may be running out of gas when an explosive fight between Cameron and Christos threatens to derail the entire trip.
The money is flowing in as the New York “pop-up” store turns into a huge success. Cameron noodles his way into the closet of a renowned New York socialite who used to party with Andy Warhol and has the clothes to prove it. Cameron brings Christos to an auction in rural Pennsylvania where the usually tight-fisted Christos suddenly goes bidding crazy. Back in L.A., Cameron and Christos assess the state of their partnership.
