When you think about fashion in 2011 what does stand out? Galliano being fired from Christian Dior. At least, that's what I think. It's been the gossip of all fashion bloggers, insiders, executives and mere mortals: who will succeed Galliano? Who will take over the throne at Dior? Who will take the lead at Galliano? Who will take on this dream job?
It's funny to call it dream job because, in fact, that's what it is. It's Dior. But no one wants to do it. Why? At first I thought it was just a question of time, and someone would announce Marc Jacobs (against my will) for the job. But cousin Marc said no! Then the curse started. From all the names announced no one wants to do it. Why?
Did Dior executives hurried by firing John Galliano? Should they hire him back? Should he come back? Oh, there is nothing more awaited in fashion as a come back. True, they are highly difficult to happen and even more to succeed. But there is so many expectations about Dior.
I really thought Raf Simons was the one. He would accept the offer and I was dying to see his designs. But no, didn't happened. Bah. Now the new one is Haider Ackermann. Everyone says this makes sense because he started out as an intern at Dior by Galliano. So why didn't they approached him straight away? Ugh!
Dior is a very old machine. A really old dusty luxury machine that keeps on rolling. The show must go on and that's what is happening. I think we can't expect more news from Dior now. Bill Gaytten signed for more six seasons. I know. I feel it too. It's just sad. Dior is cursed. Galliano cursed Dior and no one wants the job. Will Dior survive on Gaytten's collections? (No)
