• Tom Brady may be the next Calvin Klein underwear model. (Please, God, let it be so.) Kimora Lee Simmons's main squeeze, Djimon Honsou, is the label's current bod of choice. [NYP]

• Valentino's new head designer, Alessandra Fachinetti, "got it right" in her first collection after Valentino's retirement. [IHT]

• Riccardo Tischi's collection for Givenchy was inspired by "symbols from my religion and from Italian churches." [IHT]

• Tonight marks the first time Karl Lagerfeld will show a line for Fendi in Paris; he'll present his collection in the courtyard of the new two-story Fendi store there, which the company's CEO hopes to use for fur fashion shows during Couture Week. [WWD]

• Hilary Alexander thinks Puma's new creative director Hussein Chalayan designs with "intellect and emotion." He also put necklaces made of "rocks" on his models at his Paris show. [Telegraph]

• Alexander McQueen has become profitable, and handbags might have something to do with it. The brand has grown threefold since 2004, and 30 percent of sales come from accessories. [British Vogue]

• Audrey Tatou went to the Celine show in Paris in preparation for her role as Coco Chanel in the upcoming biopic; meanwhile, Julianne Moore was glad husband Bart Freulich changed his shirt so he wouldn't look like the ushers at the YSL show. [WWD]

• Coty Inc., the company that's making Halle Berry's new fragrance, will also do a fragrance for Playboy so guys can smell like Hugh Hefner. Ew. [WWD]

• February 29 — leap year — is an acceptable date for girls to propose to their boyfriends. So tradition can be upended once every four years, got that? [British Vogue]
