Happy Anniversary, Studio 54! Decor Inspiration From the Club's Look and Celeb Clientele

Elka Karl — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:45:40 PDT

This week in 1977, arguably one of the most influential clubs in history - Studio 54 - opened its doors at 254 West 54th Street, Manhattan, to the dancing public. Catering to a wide variety of clientele, the club welcomed gay and straight, black and white, famous, infamous, and totally anonymous guests. It was, by all accounts, absolutely the place to be seen in the late '70s.

Not only was the clientele special, but the space itself was, too. Cavernous in size, the club had a stage, balconies, sitting areas with tables, and a spacious parquet wood dance floor. Strobe lights in the form of columns flanked the club and a mirrored main bar under the balconies was in close proximity to the dance floor. A variety of other spaces, such as the infamous "Rubber Room" (which could be sprayed down), as well as a basement frequented by celebrities, made up the rest of the club.

Today, we're going to take you through some shots of the club's decor, and of course, it's famous celebrity clientele, including Halston, Michael Jackson, Woody Allen, Andy Warhol, and many more. Keep clicking for a look back at the fabulous '70s at Studio 54, and our interpretations of the looks for a modern home.

Temperley London's Fall 2012 collection was as good as gold, literally. Inspired by the decadence of religious paintings and tapestries from the Renaissance, Alice Temperley turned out glamour girls in shiny pantsuits, lovely lamé, and brocade and velvet dresses. A military-inspired cape coat and a velvet jumpsuit were standouts in our eyes, but watch the entire runway show to see what your favorite pieces are!

Mixing Metallics: Try Gold Shadow With Silver Polish

Jaime Richards — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 10:40:00 PDT

There used to be this rule that you couldn't mix your silvers with your golds (particularly pertaining to jewelry), but Katy Perry proves that there's a way to do it right. At yesterday's European premiere for Arthur, Katy mixed her metallics, wearing a silver-toned manicure with golden eye shadow on her lower lash lines and gold rings on her ring finger. The key is to not overdo it on either shade, so that the mismatched metallics play nicely off each other. For more ways to wear the look, check out Iman's silver and gold smoky eye, and see the widget below for inspiration.

All That Glitters Must Be Gold: Spring Picks For Mom and Tot

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 03:05:00 PST

Shine on! Our girls Fab and Geek know a trend when they see it and gold is where it's at this Spring. The rich, shiny metal is moving off mama's ears, neck, and wrists and onto lil one's waists and toes. Though usually reserved for dress up, gold is taking a more casual turn this season, as seen on a glittery pair of classic Jack Purcell sneakers and an infant-sized pair of Uggs. Mama can join in the gold revolution with a metallic diaper bag. Want to jump on this trend? Start shopping by clicking on any of the images above!

Set a Gold Standard For Spring With These Accessories

Michele Foley — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 11:15:39 PST

As spotted on Fab, the big trend for Spring is gold. Shiny, sophisticated, and sun-kissed, a little touch of gold makes even the most boring accessory - hello, HP USB drive ($20) - look regal. On the other end of the spectrum are products that are already blinging on their own like this VAIO laptop ($1,200) or Lumix Panasonic digital camera ($350); the gold sheen merely adds to the luster.

Trend Alert: The Gold Standard

Noria Morales — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 03:34:46 PST

Want to look sun-kissed before the first beach day? We're loving Eniko Mihalik's warm sheen for Harper's Bazaar's March editorial - and we took notes. Layer golden hues with abandon. Stack bangles, layer necklaces, and pair it with rich mustard and golden tones. It could be a strappy Giuseppe Zanotti gold shoe ($695) popping out from skinny See by Chloé pants ($108, originally $270), or a series of cuffs adding a warrior-like quality to your arm. Work the gold standard, and you'll shine.

Cool Idea: Go For the Gold

Julia Millay Walsh — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 12:30:00 PST

Anthology magazine's sophomore issue is due out soon and there's a sneak preview live online now to tease us. The feature I'm most excited to read is the tour of the San Diego home of stylist Kelly Lilien of the wildly popular style blog Mrs. Lilien. I absolutely love everything Kelly produces and there's no doubt in my mind that her home is an enchanting place.

From just this glimpse into her home (left), I can already spot some serious creativity. To put her own "Mrs." spin on her 1930s Spanish bungalow, Kelly gilded the wood beams in her living room, and then moved onto the fireplace logs! "The space was screaming for something super special," she explains. "There was a need for a pièce de résistance. Once I realized how magical it was, I kept going." If that's not enchanting, I don't know what is.

Toast to a Glitzy New Year

Tara Block — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 07:00:28 PST

If there's ever a time to bring out the sparkly, the glitz, and the glam, it's New Year's Eve. So release your inner magpie with shiny soiree décor as you toast to 2011!

Keep track of the time with a chic clock like George Nelson's Sunflower Clock ($1,085) and be sure to have plenty of party-friendly accouterments like mini sparklers ($16 for four), a Crystal Pinata ($140), and confetti poppers ($12.50 each). Pour your bubbly into dainty saucers ($75 for four) and dress your table with Bling Placecard Holders ($13 for four), Sequin Flower Napkin Rings ($25), and a flower-filled Futura Asterisk Vase ($125). Shop the rest of the glistening goodies by clicking the images above. Cheers!
