This book combines the glamorous fashion and celebrity of Carine Roitfeld and the provocative, glittering nostalgia of Antonio Lopez with the star-studded debauchery of CBGB. Presenting hundreds of photographs--many never seen before--from Studio 54 and weaving together stories and quotes from the cultural luminaries who were there, this exciting volume depicts the wild energy and glittering creativity of the era. Unlike other books on Studio 54, this one is authored by Ian Schrager himself, the co-founder of the legendary nightclub, and presents his insider perspective.

Now Ian Schrager, co-owner of the legendary club, presents a spectacular volume brimming with star-studded photographs and personal stories from the greatest party of all time.
