...surprise that Beautiful-People Photographer Francesco Scavullo celebrated his 51st birthday at Manhattan's Studio 54, the tacky ex-TV studio that has been built into the Big Apple's most celebrated disco with the help of hype-hungry celebs. But why was his party so subdued? Why did Co-Owner Steven Rubell, 36, cross his wrists as though he were wearing handcuffs? Premonition, possibly. Two days later a federal judge, considering guilty pleas from Rubell and Partner Ian Schrager to charges of failing to pay $400,000 in taxes on income skimmed from disco receipts, hit them...
Hear this: "The new bold beauty is round, she is not scrawny. She's sexy, earthy. She has fire and excitement in her eyes. Her body looks healthy, and strong enough so you could wrestle and roll with her." So says Francesco Scavullo, a Manhattan-based fashion photographer. He is right; the great-blue-heron look of the early '60s has been consigned to outer darkness. Hollow chests have been replaced by noticeable and often visible breasts, and haughtiness by a sometimes even more disconcerting look of warmth and directness.

...Scavullo's description of the new naturalism fits several tall, smashing models?Rene Russo, Lisa Taylor and Patti Hansen, a freckle-faced 21-year-old from Staten Island, whom he photographed nude for a 24-page story coming in the April Vogue.

Francesco Scavullo photographed dozens of famous women for his book Scavullo on Beauty. He also posed and interviewed the opposite sex for his upcoming sequel Scavullo Men. What's left? Dogs. Scavullo, 47, is now shooting formal portraits of everybody's favorite collie, Lassie, the sixth descendant of the original, who about to star in a new movie. In Scavullo's opinion Lassie is very well groomed and a sal looker, "right up there ith Barbra Streisand." The dog also a photographer's dream. You don't have to worry Dout clothes, makeup or hair...
...nearly bare. Outside of a few old-style "meat racks" -mostly homosexual hangouts-few disco freaks today turn out in jeans, shorts, T shirts or sandals. Designers like Halston make women's clothes just for dancing. "The dress becomes your dancing partner," he says, and Photographer Francesco Scavullo claims that the "young and exciting fashions in the discos are the only clothes today." Dancing styles have progressed and mellowed. The hustle and the bus stop, the rope and the roach have largely been replaced in the past year by either a languid free-form oscillation or neojitter-bug. There...
