From Emma Sophie Peyrard’s article for BEAU Magazine:
Long before the 1980s became a nostalgic fantasy, they were a decade of reinvention. A time when images, bodies, and lifestyles became expressions of a new freedom. For BEAU Magazine, photographer Meryl Meisler opens her archives, revealing her view of an America caught between New York’s electric nightlife and a society undergoing profound change. From New York’s dance floors to the classrooms where she taught, she captured the faces, gestures and places where a new era was taking shape.
