STEVE MADDEN MOONLIT DISCO – A Tribute to the Legendary Disco Era

The Steve Madden brand hosted a spectacular event that brought back the spirit of New York’s iconic Studio 54,  a symbol of glamour, freedom, and the nightlife of the ’80s. Under the name “Moonlit Disco,” Belgrade’s Budućnost club was transformed into a dazzling disco paradise where nostalgia for the past met the contemporary spirit of New York.

Inspired by the mantra “more is more” and “no rules except to dance,” the event gathered over 200 VIP guests, including influencers, musicians, fashion insiders, and fans of the brand. Naturally, the spotlight was on Steve Madden shoes — from cult platforms to the newest styles from the latest collection — showcased through scenography and performances that blended fashion and art.

Entering the event was an experience in itself, as guests passed through “secret doors” accompanied by a theatrical welcome performance and the password “Shine Baby Shine.” Inside, they were greeted by a lavish setting of disco balls, neon lights, mirrors, and silver balloons that created a perfect retro-futuristic atmosphere, while DJ Pepe’s vinyl set and performances by drag queens Sunnoka and Hydra elevated the energy to its peak.

A major highlight of the night was the Steve Madden cocktail bar, serving shimmering drinks created in collaboration with Red Bull and their newest flavors — Discotini, Velvet Rope Martini, and Disco Lemonade. Under the spotlights, platforms, sequins, and the brand’s bold, rebellious spirit gleamed brightly.

Among the guests were numerous celebrities and influencers, including Sara Jo, Lea Stanković, Dušan Petrović, Ema Luketin, Amna Alajbegović, Filarri, Martina Vuletić, and Milica Plamenac, all in their most daring Steve Madden looks.

In the spirit of New York’s legendary club scene, Moonlit Disco proved that Steve Madden continues to push boundaries between fashion, music, and culture, showing once again that style is more than fashion; it’s an attitude.
