Kate Lanphear has found a new job after leaving her position as Elle's style director in November.

Journalist Jim Shi tweeted on Monday that "Lanphear has joined T: The New York Times Style Magazine as style director. She'll be at the upcoming women's shows with Team T." The Times' official communications account later confirmed the news by tweeting, "Welcome to Kate Lanphear, new Style Director of @TMagazine."

Lanphear has been the subject of a number of job-related rumors over the past several months. In October, she was mentioned as a possible replacement for Deborah Needleman, who left WSJ. Magazine to take over T in September. In November, some believed she was headed to a start-up magazine called Editorialist.

She's the newest big-name addition to the team since stylist Joe McKenna was named the magazine's fashion director at large in November.

After five seasons of giving small and private presentations of his women's clothing, Tom Ford is coming back to the runway for Fall 2013.

Ford told The Sunday Times that he plans to stage a large-scale show during London Fashion Week. The official schedule has Ford's show down for 7 p.m. on Feb. 18.

"This is going to be for 500 to 1,000 people. Photographers, bloggers — a regular, real show," Ford said. "I want to show in London because I now have 100 stores worldwide. The company has jumped, and I can no longer service the stores by not showing. So I have to love it and embrace it."

When Ford scheduled his women's Spring 2011 show — his first offering for the ladies since leaving Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent in 2004 — he kept the show private so the clothing wouldn't get overexposed. He enlisted women like Beyoncé, Daphne Guinness, and Lou Doillon as models. Only 100 people were invited to attend, and Terry Richardson was the only photographer allowed to take pictures.

"I want fashion to be fun again, like it was in the '60s," Ford said at the time. "You couldn't wait to get the clothes and put them on, and I think we've lost that."

That first show was in New York, but Ford said he likes living in London.

"I hope it works here, because my dream goal is to raise my children here," he said. "I'm very old-fashioned. When I was little, I was brought up to say, 'Hello, Mr. Ford'; 'Hello, Mrs. So-and-so'; 'sir and ma'am.' I want that for my children. . . . I'm only here 180 days [of the year], but I like the humour, the formality, the manners, the irreverence in England."

A text message received by the son of Guido Foresti, one of the men on board Vittorio Missoni's missing plane, has led investigators to believe that their disappearance may actually have been a hijacking. On Sunday evening, Foresti's son received a message saying, "Call now, we are reachable," but no one has been able to reach Foresti's phone. Investigators are now looking for signs that the four were taken hostage.

This has renewed the Missoni family's hope that Vittorio and his traveling companions are indeed alive. "It's better to be kidnapped than at the bottom of the sea," said Vittorio's sister Angela on Monday. "We hope all four are alive and well. We also hope that the searches go in all directions."

Vittorio had been vacationing with his wife Maurizia Castiglioni and two other couples in the Venezuelan islands of Los Roques. Vittorio, Castiglioni, Guido Foresti and Foresti's wife Elda Scalvenzi were on board the plane with two Venezuelan crew members. The other two people on vacation, Scalvenzi's brother Giuseppe and his wife Rosa Apostoli, were believed by some to have been kidnapped, but the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported that they made it to Milan safely on Sunday.

Three days after a small plane carrying Vittorio Missoni went missing off the coast of Venezuela, members of his family are staying optimistic that he'll be found.

"Our hope is that he is still alive," said Vittorio's sister Angela — the brand's creative director — in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. "We want to hope, because for us it is important."

Other members of the family have been active on Twitter. Margherita Missoni has been retweeting news stories about the disappearance. Her cousin Jennifer last night said, "We believe. We won't stop until we #findvittoriomissoni !!!!!"

Venezuelan officials have vowed they won't stop, either. The search team includes a plane, two helicopters, several Coast Guard boats, and nearly 30 divers, according to the Associated Press. They've been searching for the plane and its six passengers since they were reported missing on Friday.

"All the authorities involved in these tasks are not reducing the intensity of the search until they locate the plane as well as its crew and passengers," the government said in a statement.

La Repubblica broke the news that Missoni, his wife Maurizia Castiglioni, their friends Guido Foresti and Elda Scalvenzi, and two Venezuelan crew members were missing on Friday. The four had been on vacation in Los Roques with Scalvenzi's brother Giuseppe and his wife Rosa Apostoli, but those two didn't board the missing plane because there wasn't enough room. Il Messaggero reported that they arrived safely in Milan on Sunday.

Vittorio was headed to an airport outside of the Venezuelan capital of Caracas. Afterward he'd planned to go to Spain and then to Italy, where Missoni had been scheduled to show its latest men's collection on Jan. 13. The brand is expected to decide today whether the show will go on.

Angela said she was notified about her brother's disappearance while on vacation in Oman with her parents, Rosita and Ottavio, who founded the brand in 1953. She told her mother immediately, but they waited to tell her father.

"We decided to let him rest, he was very tired," Angela said. "When, at 5:30 in the morning he saw us all standing and he looked at our faces and said, 'What happened? I am 92, but I'm not stupid.' And so we told him the truth."
