Many names have been thrown away this last six months as to who is going to be replacing John Galliano at the helm of Christian Dior, most high profile of which was Alaia. Today it emerged on Vogue's online page that a source close to LVMH CEO (and 4th richest man in the world) Bernard Arnault has told a Brazilian magazine that Marc Jacobs is top of his list, fuelling rumours that Jacobs is planing to switch fashion houses.
The source also said that it is being considered for Jacobs to oversee both fashion houses at the same time - which fashion insiders seem t think is unlikely. Jacobs denied rumours in March that he was a candidate for the position, but neither the designer or LVMH have commented on todays speculations.
