The jury is still out on whether Anne Hathaway and James Franco were in fact worthy hosts at last night’s Oscars, but at least we had Anne’s constant outfit changes to keep us entertained.  Which one was your favourite? [Blackbook]

Terry Richardson shot Opening Ceremony’s spring look book and no one appears to be naked. [WWD] Baby bumps are so in this season.

Leave it to Tom Ford to spark a blaze of fashion chatter. Ford has released the video for the first women’s collection under his own name – a spring 2011 show that happened in September but has gone mostly unreported until now, as per Ford’s wishes.

More images have been released from Tom Ford‘s über-secret Spring 2011 womenswear collection. Terry Richardson, the only photog allowed at the show, snapped the collection as modelled by the likes of Liya Kebede, Stella Tennant, Lauren Hutton, Daphne Guinness and Beyoncé Knowles.  [Fashionologie]

Looks like luxury giant LVMH is interested in purchasing Rodarte. The LA-based label has yet to pull in a profit–last year they made a meagre $2 million in sales, despite being the label on everyone’s lips. No deal has been made yet. [Fashionista]

Last night, tennis champ Roger Federer admitted that he often gets sartorial advice from none other than Anna Wintour. “I asked her about the pink color I was wearing last week and she was like, ‘Oh, you sure about that Roger?’ Too late now! But I got good reviews.” [The Cut]

Tyra Banks has just announced she will be writing trilogy of fantasy novels called Modelland. On her website, she promises the novels will take you to a “fantastical place you’ve never seen, or heard about, or read about before… Where dreams come true and life can change in the blink of a smoky eye.  ;)” Well that just about sums it up, Tye. [Fashionology]

Allegations made by models of  Terry Richardson‘s inappropriate behaviour haven’t seemed to effect his career or his reputation, as the photographer was back to work, shooting model Doutzen Kroes for Vogue in Miami yesterday. [Vogue UK]

FDCC prez Robin Kay spoke out at yesterday’s Holt Renfrew‘s media breakfast, which showcased work from five Canadian designers who don’t show at LG Fashion Week. (Watch for our coverage of the event later today.) Holts brought in Vogue writer Mark Holgate, who will not be attending the main event at the Allstream Centre [UPDATE: Mark Holgate attended the IZMA show on Sunday night with Holt Renfrew’s communications director, Moira Wright.] Kay told the Toronto Star: “Holt Renfrew is a sponsor – with their largesse they should have made a point of bringing that gentleman to the site to see that we are a fashion week and to see designers he may not have heard of. That’s a sponsor’s duty and responsibility.” For Holts’ part, their fashion VP Barbara Atkin said: ““[Bringing these designers to fashion week] is something we’ve talked about and we are in discussions about.” [Toronto Star, via Toronto Life]

With J.Crew scouting locations and Victoria’s Secret‘s plans to open four north-of-the-49th stores, Canada has become the ‘it’ place for retailers looking to open international stores–because we’re nearby and not that exotic, apparently. Says the Wall Street Journal: “Canadians tend to be slower, steadier shoppers than Americans, with a preference for higher-quality goods and more interest in outdoor looks.” Gotta love the stereotypes, eh. [The Cut]

Angelina Jolie’s first modelling photos are up for auction this Friday. The photos, taken by Harry Langdon when Jolie was 15 years old, are being sold by California auction house Profiles in History as part of a glamour photography sale. [Vogue UK]

Over the weekend Terry Richardson spoke out on his blog about the recent heat he’s gotten from female models he has worked with, saying, “I just want to take a moment to say I’m really hurt by the recent and false allegations of insensitivity and misconduct. I feel fortunate to work with so many extraordinary people each and every day. I’ve always been considerate and respectful of the people I photograph and I view what I do as a real collaboration between myself and the people in front of the camera. To everyone who has embraced and supported me and my work, I am so grateful. Thank you, it means a lot.” [Fashionologie]

The video for Lady Gaga‘s “Telephone,” featuring Beyoncé is out. In it, Gaga wears a gigantic black and white striped jacket and a bedazzled G-string bikini–in prison. Beyoncé’s outfits include a yellow latex dress with matching cowboy hat (and eyeshadow!). There’s more, obviously.

Model-turned-filmmaker Rie Rasmussen has beef with Terry Richardson and his approach to photography: “He takes girls who are young, manipulates them to take their clothes off and takes pictures of them they will be ashamed of.” Rasumssen ran into Richardson at a party and told him the same thing, in so many words; “I told him what you do is completely degrading to women. I hope you know you only [bleep] girls because you have a camera, lots of fashion contacts and get your pictures in Vogue.” [The Cut]

Steve Madden is apparently going to create the shoes for Madonna’s Material Girl collection for Macy’s. [WWD]

We have a little pre-Valentine’s day, Friday afternoon treat for you: Shots from Aldo’s spring/summer campaign, shot by Terry Richardson and starring Jessica Stam.
