There has never been—and will never be—another
nightclub to rival the sheer glamour, energy, and wild creativity that
was Studio 54. Now, in the first official book on the legendary club,
co-owner Ian Schrager presents a spectacular volume brimming with
star-studded photographs and personal stories from the greatest party of
all time. From the moment it opened in 1977, Studio 54 celebrated
spectacle and promised a never-ending parade of anything goes. Although
it existed for only three years, it served as a catalyst that brought
together some of the most famous and creative people in the world. It
quickly became known for its celebrity guest list and uniquely chic
clientele. From the cutting-edge lighting displays to its elaborate
sets, it was the beginning of nightclub as performance art. Now,
Studio 54 explores this cultural zeitgeist and gives us
Schrager’s personal firsthand account of what it was like to
create and run the most famous nightclub of our age. With hundreds of
photographs, many of which have never been seen before, of the
celebrities and beautiful people and engaging stories and quotes from
such cultural luminaries as Liza Minelli, David Geffen, Brooke Shields,
Pat Cleveland, and Diane von Furstenberg, this exciting volume depicts
the wild energy and glittering creativity of the era. One of the most
important cultural landmarks of the twentieth century, Studio 54
continues to inspire with its legendary glamour. This exhilarating
volume is a must-have for style and fashion aficionados today.
