Sandra‘s Closet

Last Sunday, we celebrated a «’70s» gala at MY STYLE ROCKS. My look was an homage to one of the most iconic fashion stages of all time: Studio 54, a place that wasn’t just a nightclub, but a runway, a cultural phenomenon, and a temple of 1970s style history.

Celebrating that glamorous, decadent spirit: I went for this shimmering lamé dress and sequined blazer from Michael Kors’ F/W 2019 collection, which itself was dedicated to Studio 54, paired with a fabulous turban by Saint Laurent and the perfect accessories to finish it off.

Many didn’t realize, but this is exactly what the Seventies were about: drama, sparkle, individuality, and unapologetic glamour. Studio 54 wrote fashion history with its fearless outfits, where designers, muses, and icons all came together to create legendary moments that are still inspiring runways today.

Worn in Gala Episode 113 of MY STYLE ROCKS Season 2 with the theme «70s».

My look: Sequin tuxedo blazer with feathers, knotted stretch-lamé midi dress, Studio 54 sandals, and logo crossbody bag, all by Michael Kors Collection (F/W 2019), Aurora oversized butterfly acetate sunglasses by Zimmermann, Egyptian style necklace by CHANEL (Métiers d’Art Pre-fall 2019 Paris – New York collection), rings by Roberto Cavalli, and braided sequined stretch-crepe and lamé turban in black, all by Saint Laurent.

So here’s to bringing back that magic and showing that true seventies style never goes out of fashion.

LoL, Sandra

Disco. Decadence. The ultimate indulgence. Sometimes you get an invitation that is so amazing you want to show it to the world… in this case a dear friend of mine is celebrating a Studio 54 party in New York City next weekend. I couldn’t have wished for a better theme. Studio 54, the legendary world-famous night club of the late ’70s, located at 254 West 54th Street, between Eighth Avenue and Broadway in Midtown Manhattan, was the landmark of various parties in the art and fashion world and the hot spot for all celebrities of the era.

At the peak of the disco dancing and music trend, it was founded and created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager in 1977, and sold in 1980 to Mark Fleischman, who reopened the club after it had been shut down following Rubell and Schrager’s convictions on charges of tax evasion.

Studio 54 has become a dress code in itself: it means sparkling mini dresses, sequins, jumpsuits, platform sandals and Farrah Fawcett hair. Michael Kors admittedly skipped his own prom for a night out at Studio 54, so it’s fitting that the former NYC club serves as inspiration for his F/W 2019 collection.
