>> Now that he's relieved of his duties at Emanuel Ungaro, what's Esteban Cortazar up to?  He was spotted at jewelry line Fenton/Fallon's boutique opening party in New York Tuesday night, where he said he is town for two weeks.

In today's hard copy of The Daily, he divulges that this New York Fashion Week is his first in two years.  He's definitely been getting around; he chatted recently with The Daily as he was checking into a Paris hotel for a long-term stay: "I can't give specifics, but I'll definitely be in Europe, and hopefully in Paris."

>> Frankie Rayder to Walk Alexander Wang; Erin Wasson's Mysterious A-List Guest, Musical Act — Alexander Wang is known to bring familiar model faces back into the runway mix for his show, and this season, rumors are going around that Frankie Rayder — who walked Michael Kors last season — will do his catwalk; her sister, Missy Rayder, recently posed for Wang's lookbook.  Style.com promises that Erin Wasson's RVCA show tomorrow, too, will be "memorable . . . for reasons we mostly cannot elaborate" — she has a mysterious band playing and a mysterious A-List guest attending.

Tom Ford Still Being Secretive About A Single Man, Wants the Movie To Be Bought Based on Merit

>> Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man — and the first project from his newly-minted production company, Fade to Black — premieres in competition at the Venice Film Festival tomorrow; Variety notes that he's been super secretive of the movie those far, "forgoing interviews, press screenings and, perhaps most notable of all, advance sales."

>> Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man — and the first project from his newly-minted production company, Fade to Black — premieres in competition at the Venice Film Festival tomorrow; Variety notes that he's been super secretive of the movie those far, "forgoing interviews, press screenings and, perhaps most notable of all, advance sales."  

Stuart Ford, who is handling the film's sales, says that interest is "huge," but they "made a decision not to do pre-sales, the principal reason being that we want the film's eventual distributor to make a decision based on the film itself, after seeing it. Even though Tom is an unproven quantity as a director, the film will play for itself — it's a high-class piece of filmmaking."

Wayne Launches Handbags Alongside Layer-Friendly Spring 2010 Collection

>> Fashion Week has just barely begun, but so far, designers are still going hard for a couple of looks — cut-outs are still sticking, and leggings are being reborn with patches and mesh pieces.  Both were in the mix at Wayne, as was a skort, which Style.com has already deemed a Spring "fascination."

Wayne Lee channeled minimalist sculpture for Spring 2010 — but the draped jersey dresses, aforementioned cut-outs, and bright yellow against a shades of gray palette vaguely call to mind Alexander Wang's work.  A number of designers are adding accessories this season, and Wayne is among them: a new leather handbag collection spans five silhouettes, a duffle and slouchy hobo among them; and a few pieces of jewelry — sculpted rings and cuffs — will also be produced.

>> Olivier Theyskens Not Making Friendly; Which Up-and-Coming Designer Has a Mystery Backer? —Is Olivier Theyskens alienating colleagues?  A blind item in today's Daily indicates so: "Which now-unemployed Belgian designer refused to look his underlings and overlings in the eye? It earned him few fans on Seventh Avenue . . ."  Also of interest: "Which high-profile industry icon is believed by many to be the main investor backing one of fashion's youngest — and brightest — stars?"
