Will Marc Jacobs be the next designer for DIOR ??! !

Remember what we were saying in February about Mr Arnault preferring Marc Jacobs to John Galliano??!
Now it seems that Marc will take over John at Dior! He said that it would be good for for the image of the house ... So what about LV ?! Who will take over ?! wanna start guessing ??
After nearly 15 years at Louis V, maybe a change would be good for Marc.

This Morning I woke up with a great idea ... Should I contact Mr. Arnault to replace John at Dior !

John Galliano's dismissal by Christian Dior leaves one of the most prestigious roles in fashion suddenly vacant. The man making the decision about his replacement is Bernard Arnault, the chief executive of LVMH, which owns Dior.

The frontrunner is thought to be the 36-year-old Italian designer Riccardo Tisci, who has won increasing acclaim over the past five years designing Givenchy, another LVMH brand. Tisci is well connected in the Paris fashion world, with close ties to French Vogue.

Were Tisci to land the role, it would be a case of history repeating itself: Galliano was at Givenchy before getting the Dior job.

Bernard Arnault Prefers John Galliano to Marc Jacobs... And the latter musn't be really happy about that!

Designers are friends no matter what ... ??!!

"I could have asked many other talented designers to do Dior, but it would not have been the same," Arnault told Tatler Asia. "Take Marc Jacobs, he has been a fantastic success at Vuitton and he has a proximity to the Vuitton spirit, but I don't think it would have been a success with Jacobs at Dior and the other way around, if I had asked John [Galliano] to do Vuitton, it would not have worked. An essential ingredient in the success of the brand today is the real proximity of Galliano to the talent of Christian Dior."
Before each collection is shown, Arnault and Galliano meet at the LVMH offices in Paris to discuss the designs. "We meet in this room," says Arnault. "I say, 'John, I think we should do something else.' What you have done is too extravagant. For Dior it's all about the details and John listens." [Tatler Asia]

Hermes Won't Let LVMH Own Them

Last month we told you how LVMH chariman Bernard Arnault acquired 17% of stock in Hermes.
That’s when speculation began that LVMH would soon try to acquire more even though the majority of the company is still owned by the Hermes family.

But the high-end purse makers aren’t going to let LVMH gain any more equity.
The founding family is setting up a private holding company that will own more than half of the Hermes shares. This will allow Hermes family members to sell their stocks, which amounts to 73% of Hermes, without worrying that LVMH will purchase them.

The family, with over 60 members involved, is said to all be on board.

Mr Guerlain sued over Racist sayings...

LVMH owned perfume house Guerlain is being sued by anti-racism groups after Jean-Paul Guerlain dropped the n-bomb on TV.
During the French state TV interview, Guerlain was asked about his new fragrance Samsara, to which he replied: "I worked like a n****r. I don't know if n*****s have always worked like that, but anyway."
Because of Jean-Paul's insensitive comments, Al Sharpton and other US civil rights activists hope to meet with French president Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss what the perfumier said.
