Did Vanity Fair land Tom Ford for their March 2006 "Hollywood Issue" by promising more than just butt cracks? Like, hiring the children of Tom Ford's employees?

With all the upward movement, the magazine has had to hire new fashion assistants. Rickie De Sole, daughter of Tom Ford brand chairman Domenico De Sole, whom The Daily reported joined the fashion department in July, has officially been made a fashion assistant. Joining her is Chase Robinson, whose mother is, interestingly enough, Andrea Robinson, president of the Tom Ford Beauty division of Estée Lauder.

That is interestingly enough, Jim Shi. Let's encourage everyone to just keep their heads down and walk on by without commentary. Like everyone did when Jessica Joffe took over Glamour, or Vogue hired Anna Wintour's daughter's best friend.
