The list of names being considered to get John Galliano’s old job as head of Dior has just gotten bigger. After Tom Ford, Hedi Slimane, Olivier Theyskens, Nicholas Ghesquière, Alber Elbaz, Haider Ackermann and Prabal Gurung, now Sarah Burton is also in the race for the most coveted job in the fashion world.
* Of course, the ratings of Sarah, who is currently the creative director of Alexander McQueen, increased considerably after she was announced as responsible for the design of the wedding dress of the new Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine, by far the most talked about in the last 30 years. Added to this the fact that Bernard Arnault, from the LVMH group, which owns Dior, is a fan of the British monarchy and Sarah is already seen as a clear favorite.
