229. What Studio 54 Was REALLY Like: A Designer’s Guide to the Wild 70s

🎙️ Fashion Thursdays with Diane: The 1970s — Studio 54, Power Decade & Fashion Legends

Host: Diane Gilman, The Queen of Jeans

Diane takes you inside the real Manhattan of the 1970s, from legendary nights at Studio 54 and wild run-ins with Halston and Bianca Jagger, to the youthful optimism, freedom, and iconic music, movies, and style that shaped a generation. Explore how the 1970s exploded with fashion and creativity—the birth of mass production, power tailoring, designer denim, and the unrestrained nightclub glam that still influences runways (and wardrobes) today.

What You’ll Hear

• What NYC nightlife was really like at Studio 54—hedonism, high style, and the “anything goes” door policy that made creativity the ultimate status symbol
• The soundtrack of a generation: Queen, The Eagles, Led Zeppelin, the Godfather of rock and the unstoppable staying power of 70s music
• The decade’s most influential movies (Jaws, Godfather, Taxi Driver, The Exorcist), TV shows (All in the Family, MASH, Charlie’s Angels, SNL), and bold, original storytelling
• Why fashion was suddenly “for everyone,” with mass production, Gunne Sax, and America’s first true designer icons: Halston, Diane Von Furstenberg, Ralph Lauren, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent
• Disco style details: what you wore to get past the velvet ropes—jump suits, sequins, lamé, wrap dresses, flowing hair, platforms, and androgynous flair
• How the freedom and original creativity of the 70s set the blueprint for modern fashion, gender fluidity, and red-carpet style
