Tom Ford's Womenswear Presentation Reportedly to Have Celebrity Models, But No Photos Will Be Released Until January

>> Lou Doillon isn't the only model of note in Tom Ford's womenswear relaunch preview on Sunday: The Daily reports that every model is a celebrity — Victoria Beckham and Beyonce Knowles are among those joining Doillon — and Ford is expected to walk the intimate group of guests through each look personally.

The entire thing is very hush-hush: only one photographer is allowed at the presentation — working directly under Ford — and photos aren't expected to be released until January — when the goods hit stores, in an effort to prevent counterfeit copies. Apparently everyone involved — from publicists to guests — have been required to sign confidentiality agreements.

UPDATE: Beckham is not partaking in the presentation, although Julianne Moore and Lauren Hutton reportedly are. [@jimshi809]

>> Crystal Renn has been embraced by Paris designers — Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel and Jean Paul Gaultier both picked her for their recent campaigns — so it was only a matter of time before she and her curves were welcomed stateside once again. The designer who takes the honor? Zac Posen, who sent Renn down the Z Spoke runway, marking her first appearance of the week. “I’m freaking out," she told People. "Zac is one of the ones you want. Zac, Calvin and Marc are the big three. I booked one of my three.”

Marc Jacobs

Marc Jacobs To Hold After Party at Bookmarc

>> Last year, Marc Jacobs took over The Maritime Hotel's Hiro Ballroom and had Lady Gaga hammer out hits on a bejeweled piano for his afterparty.  This year, his fete will be a more literary affair — in setting, at least.


>> Last year
, Marc Jacobs took over The Maritime Hotel's Hiro Ballroom and had Lady Gaga hammer out hits on a bejeweled piano for his afterparty.  This year, his fete will be a more literary affair — in setting, at least. On Monday evening, Marc will have an intimate party at his newest store, book haven Bookmarc, on Bleecker Street — and a simultaneous private bash across the street at his Marc by Marc Jacobs stores in honor of the photographer Brian Bowen Smith, who photographed a series of more than 150 Jacobs employee portraits for a new book, The Men and Women of Marc Jacobs. (Smith previously photographed celebrities in the nude for Jacobs's charity push back in 2006. ) Even though the Bookmarc bash is slated to end at 10:30 pm, we hear the Boom Boom Room will be open for Jacobs and co. afterwards.
