In her new book, "Camera Girl," Sharon Smith captures the vibrant fashion of the 1980s New York club scene, showcasing extravagant outfits and lively nightlife.
The outfits that did get people in were shiny, madcap and electric, a far cry from the more corporate-inflected shoulder pad styles enjoying a renaissance today.
The subjects were dancers as they drank, drugged, flirted, and sometimes fell in love—a mix of global superstars like Madonna and everyday revelers.
It was like every night was Halloween, with outrageous outfits ranging from leopard-print boob tubes to men in sailor hats, all captured on Smith's Polaroid.
