In my casual observation (again, never having seen the movie) I think Saturday Night Fever was initiated by Hollywood's desire to cash-in on the Disco craze. The fashion became more prominent as an after-effect, i.e., "Hey, if Travolta can wear that stuff and dance, I can too!" To a lesser degree, the same thing happened three years later with Urban Cowboy. No one here in southern California wore that stereotypical "western" wear or rode mechanical bulls before that movie, but once it became a hit people traded their polyester leisure suits for Wrangler jeans and "cowboy" boots and hats, and many nightclubs converted their dance floors to mechanical bullpens.I got still my VHS-cassette. A movie, initiated by fashion-industry.
