>> Vogue got the exclusive on the first photos of Tom Ford's womenswear collection in its December 2010 issue, but Vogue Paris is putting Ford on its December 2010/January 2011 cover. Ford is the magazine's holiday issue guest editor this year — in past years, it's been Sofia Coppola or John Galliano — and it was rumored a couple of months ago that some of the photos Terry Richardson took at Ford's womenswear debut were an exclusive for the issue. This is not the first time Ford has appeared on the cover of an issue he's guest edited — he was flanked by Keira Knightley and Scarlett Johansson on Vanity Fair's March 2006 cover — and according to Roitfeld, this time, too, Ford will not be solo on the cover.

Staffers had the option to serve as paid extras during the shoot. [
