Studio 29 was one of India’s premier nightclubs of the 80’s on Marine Drive which was a replica of a chic Night Club Studio 54 in London. At that time this nightspot was unmatched by any other venue in India with regards to glamour, style, bohemianism and companionism of the true crème de la crème of India. Playing host to a mix of foreign dignitaries, ambassadors, socialites, glamour models, theatre and screen personalities, classical and contemporary musicians and artistes of then, it was undoubtedly the place to be in at that time and gave birth to current trends, skills and inspired a whole generation of people.

To pay homage to this iconic destination Zenzi Mills will be having an exhibition of pictures, newspaper clippings and advertisements from that era of the people/vibe of the place which will be displayed from 16th November till 22nd November from the archives of Studio 29.

The décor, lights, music was themed to remind you of those grand nights. The dress code for the hours of darkness was the 80’s.

This tribute by Zenzi Mills rocked the city of Mumbai just like Studio 29 did to Bombay in the 80’s.
