NYC HISTORY: TUNNEL NIGHTCLUB
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010Tunnel was a large NYC nightclub with multiple rooms on several levels. It was located at 269 11th Ave (between 27th and 28th Street) in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. Opened in early 1987 by Peter Gatien and Denis Werner, the club was named for the train tracks from the early 1900s that ran through a sunken area of the main dance floor, which had formerly been a loading dock. These were left over from the period earlier in the century when railroad sidings ran directly into warehouse buildings in that area of Manhattan.

MONTANA IS A.OK
Sunday, July 18th, 2010Claude Montana is a French fashion designer, known for his refined, figure-hugging designs, in lightweight materials or heavy leather. He is sometimes jokingly known as the “King of Shoulder Pads” for the aggressive shapes for women he created in the 1980s. In the middle of the 1990s, Montana’s orchestrated and aggressive style became outdated, as it appeared difficult to translate the force of the successful bold lines into the softer trends. Even though the more casual and commercial Montana BLU collection was softer in line, it was not the success the company hoped for. The House of Montana, founded in 1979, went bankrupt in 1997.
