CHIC SHOP GETS DE-SIGNED

They should stick to high fashion.

An unsanctioned street sign renaming a Midtown block on East 45th Street “Paul Stuart Way” went in and out of style faster than some of the haute clothier’s garments.

The blue sign — written in the shop’s signature script — was hung on a utility pole next to one-way signs and above a traffic signal.

“It was definitely unauthorized and illegal,” said Department of Transportation spokesman Seth Solomonow.

The sign, spotted outside the store’s headquarters on Madison Avenue late Tuesday, was gone by the time DOT workers arrived yesterday to take it down.
