The inaugural issue of NIGHT Magazine, published in September 1978 as a Studio 54 Special, documents the club at its height through the lens of Anton Perich—its publisher, editor, and sole photographer.
Presented in an oversized broadsheet format, the issue emphasizes image over text, capturing a cross-section of the era’s cultural figures moving between music, fashion, and society. The cover, featuring Rod Stewart and Alana Hamilton, introduces a cast that includes Patti Hansen and Huntington Hartford, reflecting the publication’s close proximity to its subjects.
Originally distributed through Fiorucci, NIGHT distinguished itself from contemporaries by prioritizing photographic content and scale, printing on large-format white stock, positioning itself as both a publication and a physical artifact.
Signed by Perich on the front cover, this first issue carries the direct imprint of its maker, offering an authentic record of a moment when nightlife, image, and identity converged in late-1970s New York.

REMEMBERING STUDIO 54
Amid the madness of late-‘70s New York, a spark had emerged, soaring through the sky like a comet until it burned to dust. Studio 54, the most legendary nightclub ever known, was founded by college buddies Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, who transformed a former midtown TV studio into a pleasure palace for the senses that took the Warholian ideal of celebrity to new heights, where everyone was a star in their own right.
