Patrick McMullan on Studio 54, Fashion Week, His Fantasy Party, and More [NEW YORK]
Posted by thizzfacedisco on May 29, 2010
I used to throw parties for a living, and now I write about them, and I feel pretty confident when I say that probably no one, living or dead, has been to as many parties as Patrick McMullan. Certainly no one has taken as many party pictures as he has. He just launched a new online venture called PMc Magazine, which features interviews and photo essays about all sorts of new and emerging talent. It reminded me of the old Details, which, before it became a young men’s magazine, was a chronicler of the downtown life and nightlife scene where I met Patrick in the 1980s. So I figured it was high time I got his words down on this page.
Tell me about your job at Details.
I followed the columnist Stephen Saban around and took pictures for his monthly nightlife column.
What was different then?
In those days, the parties were just parties. Everything now has a sponsor or a charity or is a book launch. In the days of Studio 54 and Area, a party was its own thing. Bianca riding in on a white horse at Studio 54—that didn’t have a sponsor.
