>> Fall 2010 campaign season is well under way — and although not all casts have been finalized, as is the case over at Miu Miu, many have, causing an influx of rumors and confirmations.  On Wednesday, Karen Elson joined Christy Turlington and Natalia Vodianova on the Fall 2010 Louis Vuitton campaign set in New York, where Steven Meisel photographed and Karl Templer styled. Meisel also shot the Lanvin campaign this week in New York, with Alber Elbaz overseeing another trio: Anja Rubik, Magdelena Frackowiak and Mariacarla Boscono.

Givenchy, too, is rumored to be going with a trio of female models — Ming Xi, Joan Smalls, and Mariacarla Boscono — joined by a few male models in front of Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott's lens. But the trio trend breaks there — word going around is that Meisel captured 12 girls for Balenciaga, including Finnish newcomer Kirsi Pyrhonen, and Roberto Cavalli is going solo with Gisele Bundchen shot by Mert and Marcus.

>> Marc Jacobs's Business Partner Robert Duffy to Wed —Next Tuesday, Marc Jacobs will be celebrating a wedding  — but not his own.  His longtime business partner Robert Duffy will wed Alex Cespedes, a real estate agent at KG Properties of New York, who he met last Summer on a blind date, at Duffy's home in Provincetown, Massachusetts, where gay marriage is legal. Jacobs will serve as Duffy's best man, and both grooms will wear Marc Jacobs suits in front of 86 guests, including numerous company employees. “We have been living our life together and sort of making steps towards this. But it really didn’t become like a thing that I would do [until recently],” Duffy said. “It just never entered my mind.” [WWD]

>> Louis Vuitton Reportedly Picks Two Models Who Didn't Walk Fall 2010 Runway for Campaign — After Louis Vuitton's voluptuous Fall 2010 cast featuring models in a range of ages — from Bar Refaeli to Elle Macpherson — there were many potential choices to lead the brand's subsequent campaign. But in fact, Marc Jacobs has reportedly gone with two models for Fall 2010, neither of which walked the runway — Natalia Vodianova, who sat front row at the show, and Christy Turlington.  The campaign will apparently be shot next week with Karl Templer, not show stylist Katie Grand, doing styling honors.

>> Last week, Marc Jacobs spoke out in support of Terry Richardson after allegations of sexual harassment came to light.  And just days after the news came out, it appeared that Richardson was collaborating on a shoot with Carine Roitfeld for Vogue Paris, based on pictures posted on his blog of Roitfeld, Lara Stone, and Freja Beha Erichsen.

Over the past weekend, Doutzen Kroes Tweeted "Goodmorning Miami, working for Vogue today!" and posted a picture with the caption reading. "My hair is a little messy from being on the beach shooting for American Vogue." It appears that Richardson was the photographer on the shoot — he posted a picture taken over the weekend of Doutzen on the beach, with a caption reading, "Shooting Doutzen in Miami."

A number of anonymous fashion insiders polled by Fashionista said they didn't expect the allegations to have any lasting effects on Richardson's career, and judging by Marc Jacobs's, Vogue's, and Vogue Paris's continued support, they seem to be correct.

>> Following Monday's "Fashion Talks" discussion at the French Institute Alliance Francaise, the Wall Street Journal approached Marc Jacobs to get his thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding Terry Richardson's work habits, which Terry himself addressed over the weekend.

When asked whether sexy photoshoots with young models should be more closely monitored by the industry, Jacobs replied: “I’ve worked with Terry and Terry has asked me to do some crazy things. I know that those pictures will exist if I do them. But I’m a big boy and I can say no.”

He said that he hadn't heard about the controversy, adding that Richardson is “not ill-spirited.” Then, Jacobs went further to say about the industry in general: “If a girl is underage, maybe the girl’s agent or chaperone should be present on the shoot. That’s the hard part. Who’s to blame or who’s to watch?”
