Cameron Silver is a multi-hyphenate of the most glamorous kind. He's best known for being the doyen of vintage fashion, founder of Decades, author of "Decades: A Century of Fashion", philanthropist, jet-setter (no joke, he's been to Milan, Dubai, Ukraine, NYC, Kiev and Beirut all in the past couple of weeks) and of course, star of Bravo's "Dukes of Melrose." Plus, in his pre-fashion career, Silver was a cabaret singer who crooned on stages across the country and put out an album of classics.

When he's not doing a book signing, personal appearance or charity event, Silver can be found supporting one of his favorite causes, hiking the trails at Griffith Park with his beloved dog, Gary or working on of his many other forthcoming fashion projects.

We caught up with him near his Loz Feliz home, where the always witty Silver sipped on a green juice, while Gary watched on.
