Riccardo Tisci, creative director of Givenchy is rumoured as the bookies’ favourite to replace John Galliano as head designer at Christian Dior. Originally from Taranto, Italy, Tisci, 35 studied at the prestigious Central Saint Martins and in 2005 was appointed creative director for Givenchy womenswear. He later progressed at Givenchy to eventually hold the position of menswear and accessories designer. His love of gothic and space-age minimalism has given a refreshingly new identity for the Givenchy brand. The rumours have been said to surface at Paris Fashion Week, where many were under the assumption that Tasci was to be offered the prestigious position at Dior. Fashion editor Derek Blasberg tweeted that he heard a confirmation at a Katy Perry concert, held at the Le Zenith concert hall in Paris. When asked by fashion journalists in the French capital, Dior refused to make any comments. And as for Tasci himself, he was more interested in highlighting his relief at the strong positive reception from fashionistas of the Givenchy collection: "I felt this was a strong, positive season. And I'm happy at Givenchy." Dior have found it highly complicated to replace Galliano as the dismissal cannot be processed for as long as several weeks under French employment law. Dior sacked Galliano following his arrest over an anti-semetic tirade in a Paris bar. Videos surfaced the same day with Galliano quoted to have said: "I love Hitler... People like you would be dead. Your mothers, your forefathers would all be f***ing gassed." This happened just before Paris Fashion Week. Galliano will stand trial over the allegations in June. Another name thrown into the rumour cauldron has been the Lanvin artistic director of Israeli descent, Alberto Elbaz after members of the Lanvin team were said to be in “floods of tears” after a recent meeting in Paris. Who replaces Galliano is still a mystery, but Dior will certainly be looking to recruit someone in swift fashion to take the spotlight off the Dior brand for all the wrong reasons.

"I'm so surprised, so happy, thank you," said ex-Galliano assistant Ackermann, whose collection of edgily glamorous deconstructed jersey pieces, some featuring delicate smocking and sequinned detailing, soft leather shorts and chic sparkly vests put him ahead of the game.

Altman on Jacobs on Dior: Fashion Through Fractals and Archives
Streetnotes (2012) 20: 90-110 90 ISSN: 2159-2926 Altman on Jacobs on Dior: Fashion Through Fractals and Archives J. Emmanuel Raymundo Abstract On February 25, 2011, the fashion luxury company Christian Dior suspended John Galliano, who had been its creative director since 1996, after his arrest over making anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris bar. Quickly following his suspension, a video from December 2010 was distributed showing Galliano hurling anti-Semitic invectives at several bar patrons. On March 1, 2011, Dior fired Galliano. At stake in the considerable interest and speculations regarding who takes over at Dior is control of a €24.6B business empire and access to a historic couturier’s archive. In this sense, its designer will influence the label’s “books” both financial and what will be stored in its physical repository as part of the brand’s creative and artistic repertoire. Despite fashion’s apparent ubiquity, the anticipation surrounding who takes over at Dior is proof that despite fashion’s professed democratization, there still exists a fashion hierarchy with Dior occupying its upper echelon. Since Galliano’s dismissal, fashion insiders have moved from breathlessly feverish in their speculations to desperately calling out for relief in the face of an unexpectedly drawn-out waiting game that is now over a year old and otherwise an eternity in fashion’s hyper accelerated production cycle. To purposely counter fashion’s accelerated internal clock, the purpose of this commentary is to keep fashion in a reflective state rather than a reflexive stance and uses fashion on film, and specifically Robert Altman’s Prêt-à-Porter (1994), to give cultural and historical context to all the online speculation and chatter.

MAISON MARGIELA: at Paris Couture, Digital Decadence And
25/1/2019 At Paris Couture, Digital Decadence and Tradition | Fashion Show Review, Multiple, Haute Couture - Spring 2019 | BoF HAUTE COUTURE - SPRING 2019 At Paris Couture, Digital Decadence and Tradition BY ANGELO FLACCAVENTO JANUARY 24, 2019 12:43 Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli and Margiela’s John Galliano were the undisputed winners of the season, one classic, the other hyper-modern, reports Angelo Flaccavento. PARIS, France — Can couture be modern? The question arises each season and the answers are almost as many as the designers and houses that are part of the calendar. Couture is both an anachronism, completely at odds with the present time, and yet probably the only place left in the modern luxury business where fashion can still produce radically progressive, soulful fantasies. This tension makes for fascinating results. And there was lots of dream-making in the couture week which closed in Paris on Thursday: a crescendo that started with the Dior circus on Monday, passed through Chanel's jolly villa affair on Tuesday and took off on Wednesday with the equally extreme, but almost diametrically opposed visions of Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli and Maison Margiela’s John Galliano, who were the undisputed winners of the season. In brief, the offering was festive, indulgent and at times escapist; full of decadence of every sort. It is not surprising: dire, divisive times like ours call for outbursts of joy and excess, for a frenzied dance on the edge of the abyss. If the world as we know it is rotting, why not front the debacle with shimmer and glamour instead of gloom and doom? If even a master of luxurious restraint such as Giorgio Armani embraces out-there, assertive opulence you have to take notice.

Christian Dior Why Would Bernard Arnault Invest
A work project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in International Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and Economics CHRISTIAN DIOR WHY WOULD BERNARD ARNAULT INVEST BILLIONS ON A NAME HE ALREADY HOLDS? CAROLINA MARQUES BARREIROS – 4134 / 24015 A Project carried out on the Master in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Paulo Pinho January 2019 Tuesday, April 25th 2017i. Bernard Arnault decided to go shopping. On the menu, a double operation that aims to simplify the ties that unite the group LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton), Christian Dior and its owner Bernard Arnault. The first transaction consists of an offer worth about €12.1 billion from the holding company controlled by Arnault Family Group to take over of the remaining 25.9% stake Christian Dior. The second one on the strengthening of LVMH group through the acquisition of the Christian Dior Couture for €6.5 billionii. However, a question remains: why would Bernard Arnault invest billions on a name he already holds? LVMH “The LVMH group is the world’s leading luxury goods company, the result of successive alliances among companies that, from generation to generation, have successfully combined traditions of excellence and creative passion with a cosmopolitan flair and a spirit of conquest.” - LVMH websiteiii Born out of the merger of Louis Vuitton and the Moët Hennessy group in 1987, the LVMH group led by Bernard Arnault is the world’s largest luxury conglomerate in terms of turnover (Exhibit 1).

An Audience with Philippe Pascal – Head of Watches and Jewellery at LVMH
Industry | 73 Patrician An audience with Philippe Pascal – head of watches and jewellery at LVMH Nicholas Foulkes 1 It seems that one of the key criteria when commissioning an architect to design your luxury HQ is to infuse the project with a palpable sense of awe. Much as the medieval indigent would feel on spying the impregnable walls of a ruler’s castle; or how a pilgrim is awed into silence at the end of his journey; so, it would seem, the luxury bosses want visitors to feel when entering their lairs. Cartier is one example – a steel and glass fortress practically covering an entire city block. LVMH on the Avenue Montaigne is another. As if the building was not humbling enough, I was here to meet the man responsible for the group’s entire jewellery and wristwatch portfolio – TAG Heuer was bought by LVMH in 1999 and has quickly established itself as the world’s leading sports TAG and Zenith included.
