The Owners
You can’t fake smiles as wide as those. Owners Steve Rubell on the right and Ian Schrager on the left stand gleefully next to each other on one of the balconies at Studio 54. This photograph was taken not long after the club’s opening, and shortly before it exploded into an even bigger success.
Dancing The Night Away
As we said, Studio 54 attracted all kinds of people, and they weren’t all celebrities and socialites. The energy and vibe in the nightclub was all freedom and looseness. People wore what they wanted, danced however they like, and interacted with whoever they wished. It was a tragedy when the club eventually closed down.
