Disco is alive and well, and the glitterati were out in full force at Modernism Week’s kickoff party, attended by more than 800 guests. Bell bottoms, sequins, funky wigs, and every iteration of disco-themed attire filled the dance floor for most of the evening as DJ Modgirl and The Elite Showband turned up the heat. Frank Goldstin’s Momentous Events brought back the 1970s in a big way, styling the ballroom and bar to set a perfectly groovy mood, fueled by copious amounts of Champagne and opulent eats from Lulu Catering & Events.
