Rare photos of New York’s iconic club kids:
, which is out now, takes a look at the colorful and exciting life of the New York Club Kids, an existence that was punctuated with incredible parties, extravagant outfits, and total self-liberation. Personal stories and anecdotes accompany countless images — photos of Björk in the club, portraits of Chloë Sevigny, Polaroids of Amanda Lepore — many of which have never been seen before and have been taken straight from negatives.
These spaces were safe spaces where we could go an express ourselves — we had teams of security guards there to protect us and oversee that we were not harmed by anyone else and that we didn’t harm ourselves, too. So just that as a skeleton was incredibly liberating. To know that we could go into a space, dressed however we wanted to, and dance however we wanted to, could experiment with whatever drugs we wanted to, and we weren’t going to persecuted.
Can you tell us a little bit about the importance of fashion and makeup to Club Kids and the importance of creating your own unique identity and persona? The influence of the Club Kids has been so widespread — what are some ways you recognize their influences on culture today? Our night were usually pretty full — there was usually multiple venues you would go to in one night. It was not unusual to go to three different venues in one night, and that would happen every night of the week. The way our events were usually structured was that once we got our look together, I usually took about three hours to get ready, we would pile over to the photographer’s studio where he would photograph each one of us.
Things that you are doing and expressing in your late-teens and twenties, that is the currency that you will use for the rest of your life. Your name, your identity, and your archive — any person that is tuned into this will benefit from it as they go through their lives because you always go back to it. What you realize with maturity is that you are already doing what you are supposed to do in life as a child and as a young person.
