Halston sees Studio 54 as the beginning of the end for the designer, who didn't know how to curb his addictive tendencies and need for admiration from those around him. He'll always be associated with the glamour and glitz of the late, great nightclub thanks to the A-listers who wore his pieces, including Bianca Jagger, Liza Minnelli, Cher, and Anjelica Huston.
I don't think I'll ever be able to get the image of the "coke phone" out of my head, though, but I guess that's what happens when life's a non-stop party fuelled by cocaine. If you haven't looked up the history of Studio 54 and what it was like during its heyday, I'd highly recommend it. Giant puffy coats, tons of glitter, Jagger on a horse, and the sex balcony are just a few of the very real things that went down from 1977 to the club's first closure in 1979.
