The post-Galliano age

Stefano Pilati.

Bets on who will be the successor of John Galliano at Christian Dior. The Irish largest bookmaker, Paddy Power, indicates the Italian Stefano Pilati, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent, as a favorite to succeed.
At the second position is Hedi Slimane, great photographer and former director of Christian Dior menswear. The third name is Riccardo Tisci, followed by the current director of Dior's menswear, Kriss Van Assche. Four sensational names that would completely change the John Galliano's vision on Dior woman.
