Los Angeles based vintage couture boutique owners Cameron Silver and Christos Garkinos are about to release a reality show about life running their store, Decades. They're calling it Dukes of Melrose and the Bravo Network premier happens simultaneously with Christos' sixth annual Chicago trunk show trip at space519. So it only makes sense that Christos hosts his own launch party for Dukes of Melrose.

From 6-8PM on Wednesday, March 13, the Greek god himself will gather the fashionable set in the Lounge at Japonais, Chicago's long-standing haven for bento box enthusiasts and sushi to watch one of the first episodes of the show. Space is limited, and so is sushi, so RSVP by Monday, March 11. If you're less of a Bravo junkie, and prefer to catch Christos at space519 while shopping the Decades trunk show, the dates are March 16 and 17 from noon-6PM.
