so8os: A Photographic Diary of a Decade
Editorial Reviews Book Description With a career spanning three decades, Patrick McMullan is one of the world's most celebrated party, fashion, and society photographers. Possessing status on par with his subjects, McMullan knows the intricate connections of those exalted and of the few who live behind the velvet rope. His relentless documentation of the famous figures who made New York City nightlife emblematic in the age of excess is collected for the first time in So80s: A Photographic Diary Of A Decade. A consummate chronicler, Patrick McMullan began his career in the early 1980s shooting the downtown scene alongside nightclub scribe Stephan Saban for the original Details magazine, with nothing more than an Instamatic camera and the enouragement of Andy Warhol. In So80s, he brings us back into the exclusive world of glamour and glitz as it was experienced by the era's greatest fashion, music, and art icons that mixed uptown elitism with downtown eccentricity in New York City's nightlife. Shot in such legendary nightspots Studio 54, Area, Danceteria, Limelight, and the Cat Club, So80s features unreleased photos from the Patrick McMullan archives. Beautiful people populating these pages of societal history include Michael Alig, Drew Barrymore, Jean-Michel Basquiat, William Burroughs, Cher, Tina Chow, Calvin Klein, Duran Duran, Tom Ford, Michael J. Fox, Boy George, Keith Haring, Debbie Harry, Billy Idol, Biana Jagger, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Robert Mapplethorpe, Liza Minelli, Cookie Mueller, Eddie Murphy, Tatum O'Neil, Yoko Ono, Ozzy Osbourne, River Phoenix, Diana Vreeland, Andy Warhol, and many more.
