Chalayan Gets Together With PUMA!
By Kim Hastreiter
I love PUMA!!! I was so excited to hear yesterday that they are going to partner with the visionary designer Hussein Chalayan who has long been one of my favorites. Although the formal announcement has not been made yet, word has it that Chalayan will be creative directing a line for the giant company. I think its genius because Chalayan has always been such a futurist and so innovative with his fabrication and process technology. Really smart. Here are a few shots from Chalayan's show yesterday in Paris (from style.com). Supposedly the Puma company (which is part of the PPR conglomerate) will also take a stake in Chalayan's fashion company as well so we can look forward to lots more from this interesting designer.

About Last Night... The Lydia Hearst for Puma Launch Party and Artwalk Auction
By Caroline Torem Craig
The 60 Thompson Hotel was packed to the brim with glamourpusses galore at the Lydia Hearst for Puma launch party, hosted by both Lydia and PAPER Magazine. It was a madhouse up in there as everyone showed up to get a glimpse of Miss Hearst, who glimmered and glammed in a slivering, silvery number. The crazy thing is that every one of her handbags worked well with her outfit. There was, however, a moment of torment and torture for me, as Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem were at the hotel, but unavailable for photographs! But! I swear to God they were right in front of me looking like the superstars that they are.

We just can't ever get tired of Irina Lazareanu! Here she is at the Calvin Klein Underwear anniversary party looking adorable as always. She has an album coming out featuring Sean Lennon and Vincent Gallo. When we saw Irina in Berlin for the Puma show she told us Chanel is doing a party for her in Paris during Fashion Week to celebrate the record release. MM plans to crash!!!

Eight Items or Less: Perez Hilton's Dildos, Puma's Shoe Jungle and Britney Spears' M+Ms
By PAPERMAG Editors
1. PAPER cover girl Dita Von Teese took her clothes off (again) at a benefit for the Museum of Sex last night in New York. The evening was hosted by Perez Hilton (pictured) who entertained the sparse crowd by throwing out neon Pure Romance dildos and introducing his new favorite band Dragonette. The catchy-Canadian act is currently living in London where their eponymous debut album was just released on Mercury Records. Several band members were sporting fresh Ben Sherman gear scored the night before at the store's first anniversary party where they also performed.
2. Must be the shoes! The Chelsea Art Museum (556 W. 22nd St.) is exhibiting a life-sized jungle made entirely from tennis shoes. The installation, sponsored by Puma, is the work of Federico Uribe and will be up until the end of the month. Take the kids.
3. The M+Ms are appearing at Miami club Mansion (1235 Washington Ave., $40, no cell phones or cameras) on Sunday night. Who? It's not the "melt in your mouth" candy but the melted-down bald singer Britney Spears.
4. No more events on July 7th, please, our calendar is full. Not since January 1, 2001, has a date attracted so many numerologists and publicists. Already scheduled for 7/7/7 are several Live Earth benefits as well as the official announcement of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
5. Culture Check: air f*****g and chongas.
6. Song of the day: "Disco Lady" by Johnnie Taylor. Re-awakened from deep in our popper-adled brain by www.musicovery.com somewhere in the calm-positive disco section. Warning: do not look at this site while at work! The psychedelic graphics will attract your boss like moths to a flame.
