Hedi Slimane on those DIOR rumours

The Guardian, the English newspaper run a story yesterday claiming that former DIOR HOMME  creative director, Hedi Slimane, would not take the creative post at DIOR even if he was offered the spot because such a job at a luxury house is very demanding and can make anyone miserable.

Now Slimane's PR is fighting back with claims that:

"The article in The Guardian is obviously, and certainly deliberately, misleading...The interview was clearly done one day before the event [Galliano's arrest] in Paris and not after. It is therefore unrelated, and sadly presumptuous. The Guardian wanted obviously to associate, juxtapose the two, after the Dior events, by postponing the article."

Looks like Galliano's arrest is still top news in the fashion world!

Bye Bye John Galliano!

On a statement released today, Sidney Toledano Dior's president & chief executive officer said that John Galliano has been officially fired from his position as creative director of Dior.

Galliano's ludicrous remarks captured on a video that was released yesterday, was actually the reason why the longstanding fashion house executives decided to sack the designer as his position and views do not reflect the core values of Christian Dior.

Who do you think will replace the imaginative and innovative Galliano as creative Director of Dior?There's been talks that Kris Van Assche will take over and rumours that Haider Ackermann will step in.We'd have to wait and see!
