Who's About To Take The Throne Over At Dior!!!

Fashion writer, Leah Chernikoff, tells us readers that...

"After months of speculation and rumors about who would replace John Galliano at Dior, the latest report from WWD has Marc Jacobs in talks to take over at the storied French house.



The news flies in the face of the most recent Dior rumors, which suggested that LVMH chair Bernard Arnault would install a lesser known designer at the helm. Of course, if Jacobs is appointed as creative director at Dior, he would vacate his post at Louis Vuitton, and a major reshuffling at LVMH would ensue. WWD is reporting that Phoebe Philo‘s massive success at Celine makes her the frontrunner to replace Jacobs at Louis Vuitton (not to fret, Philo-files, she will reportedly stay on as creative designer at Celine, too).



None of this is set in stone yet–neither Jacobs nor Dior have commented on the report and a source told WWD that “a deal with Jacobs is not assured, but that the American designer and Dior management are so far ‘excited’ about the prospect.” And while the rumors about Jacobs to Dior first surfaced on somewhat dubious Brazilian gossip site Glamurama, if it’s coming from fashion news bible WWD, and with such detail, the moves seems imminent. The article still mentions Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci as a “dark horse” candidate though he was once rumored to be the top contender for the job.



With Louis Vuitton, Jacobs has proven that he can revive a brand, and with his own line, that he can set trends season after season. Above all, he always puts on a show (his last show for Vuitton saw models come out of old-timey hotel elevators, complete with doormen). WWD suggests that Jacobs’ star power could “eclipse Dior’s recent turmoil” which includes Galliano’s drama-filled firing after allegations of anti-Semitism and racism and subsequent trial.



Whatever happens, the spring shows next month in Paris will be that much more exciting to watch." - Fashionista.com

Victoria Tweets: Congratulations to Marc Jacobs

Tonight is the annual CFDA Awards celebration and Victoria's close friend and fellow fashion designer Marc Jacobs is going to be the night's guest of honor. Marc will take home the "2011 Lifetime Achievement" award.

Director Sofia Coppola, his friend, will present the award to him and the ceremony will be held in Lincoln Center in NYC and will be hosted by Anderson Cooper.

"It's crazy,'' Jacobs told the Associated Press. "I mean, I have a lot more to do. 'Achievement' sounds final. I'd like to call it `Lifetime of achievement' and for what's left to achieve. I have no intention of slowing down. I don't rest anyway.''

Victoria, who will not be attending the awards this year, is very happy for Marc and tweeted the following message today: "Congratulations to my dear friend Marc Jacobs on his CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award and to all of tonight's nominees! Excited for everyone!"

Who Wore it Better: Victoria or Michelle Obama?

Both Victoria and Michelle Obama have worn this Marc Jacobs dress recently. Victoria wore it a few months ago while making her way to London. The fashion designer wore her Brian Atwood Maniac pumps with it and VB sunglasses. Victoria also toted matching taupe bags from her new line. Mrs. Obama wore it with brown tights and knee high brown boots during a news conference on food availability and affordability on January 20th.

So who wore it better? Honestly, I think this dress suits both of them well but I prefer Victoria's bare legs and nude pumps to Michelle's tights and boots.
