Fashion Scoops: Purple Haze... More On The CFDA.. Denim Expansion...

PURPLE HAZE: Colette in Paris was seeing purple Tuesday night for the launch of Purple magazine's first "Purple Anthology." "I actually once did an internship at Purple, but it was more about art then," mused Colette's Sarah Lerfel surveying the night's edgy crowd, including Victoire de Castellane, APC's Jean Touitou, a tattooed Omahyra Mota, and Irina Lazareanu, who turned up in a pair of stapled Viktor & Rolf slacks. The musician-model said her album is due out in September, produced by Patti Smith and featuring some songs by Pete Doherty. "All we need to do is get Sean [Lennon] and Patti in the same town and make sure Pete's not in prison and we can get rolling," she joked, adding she favors wearing Balenciaga on stage. "But I find brands like Ann Demeulemeester and Martin Margiela also look fabulous on stage," she said. Cigar-toking Purple editor Olivier Zahn, meanwhile, disclosed he's busy working on the next Chanel Mobile Art magazine, this time for its New York stint. "I'm also going to be opening Purple's first office there in September," he said, as Le Baron's André zipped by to spray some graffiti.
