WWD Wednesday: Remembering Roseland Ballroom



Lady Gaga closed out the Roseland Ballroom with her performance this Monday with her last of seven sold out shows. There has been so much history made at the location that started as a dance hall  and concert venue in 1919, turning into a hotspot for disco in the 70s, and then hosting popular bands of the 90s such as Nirvana. WWD is here to help us say our final goodbyes to the famous New York venue with a look-back at its maybe less recognized "performances" - the fashion shows:

Tommy Hilfiger Fall 1999:


Versace Versus Spring 2000:




Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. Spring 2006 show:
