Epitomizing the phrase “One Fashionista’s out, is another Fashionista’s in”, Paper Magazine teamed up with Housing Works Gramercy Thrift Shop, to host a charitable shopping event. Housing Works is the largest community-based AIDS service organization in the United States. Since 1990, they have provided lifesaving services to more than 20,000 homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with HIV and AIDS. This cause alone brought the New York elite out into the grey skies and rain for shopping, cocktails and music by Andrew and Andrew. The racks were full of vintage pieces brought back to life.
Paper Magazine celebrated their annual Beautiful People/April 2009 issue by throwing a huge bash at the ultra classy Hiro Ballroom, presented by H&M. Paper cover-girl and pop superstar Katy Perry was the special guest and was rightfully so, inducted into the Paper Beautiful People bunch. DJ Cassidy provided the music and Skyy Vodka provided complimentary cocktails to guests. Notable celebrities in attendance included, America’s Next Top Model winner Jaslene Gonzalez, Lady Sovereign, and Kat Deluna. Katy Perry wore a beautiful peacock dress from the Matthew Williamson for H&M line, which hits stores April 23rd. Later in the evening, Perry took to the stage to perform some of our favorite tunes! Chart toppers like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Waking up in Vegas”, were a hit with the crowd. The performances were amazing and made for a great ending to such a wonderful night.
