>> For the second time in six months, reports of luxury conglomerate Richemont (think Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Chloe) taking a stake in Prada have surfaced.  Both times, Prada has vehemently denied the possibility — first in August and again today — but if the union were to take place, as the New York Post suggested, it could create quite the competitor for Richemont rival LVMH.

Prada has long expressed interest in going public and rejected past private equity offers, but its current debt — $1.7 billion worth — has prevented company expansion.  If Richemont acquired one-third of the company as reports imply, with the possibility of an eventual majority investment, Prada would be much better equipped to take on emerging markets. But again, Prada "categorically denies any negotiation whatsoever to sell any share to Richemont."  And although a Richemont spokesman says the company doesn't comment on rumors, a source close to the company told WWD of the story: "just silly. I don't know where they got it, and clearly it's a quiet time for news."

>> There were rumors that Marc Jacobs and fiance Lorenzo Martone were planning on getting married while vacationing in St. Barts on Dec. 31, and now Guest of a Guest is reporting that they did indeed tie the knot — though no date was given — in a private St. Barts ceremony. The wedding featured a cake topped with likenesses of Marc — all tattoos and signature skort — and Lorenzo in tuxedo, surrounded by Marc's bull terrier Daisy and daisies, symbolizing the designer's love for The Great Gatsby's Daisy Buchanan.  Jacobs and Martone became engaged in March, and reportedly celebrated the wedding at a private dinner hosted by Larry Gagosian.  Also in St. Barts over the holidays were Patrick Demarchelier, Rachel Zoe, and Dasha Zhukova — all likely wedding attendees.

UPDATE: A representative for Marc Jacobs says reports of the designer marrying Lorenzo Martone are "not true. Someone had a party for them, but there was no wedding. They are still engaged."  Word is the event in the pictures was just a "rehearsal" wedding, and the actual wedding won't be happening for several more months. [Us Magazine]
