Riccardo Tisci rumoured to be replacing Galliano at Dior

THE burning question on everyone’s lips this week has been who will replace John Galliano at Dior? Now, if Twitter is to believed, Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci may be in line to succeed him as the new chief designer at the esteemed fashion house. Last night, the social networking site was on fire with talk that Dior had found its new Creative Director, after  a tweet from Harper's Bazaar editor-at-large Derek Blasberg  set tongues wagging .


'I was just told backstage at the Katy Perry concert that Riccardo Tisci is CONFIRMED at Dior. ' he tweeted late on March 8.Though there's been no official comment on the rumour, Tisci—a Central Saint Martins grad who has been the creative director of Givenchy since 2005—is currently the odds-on favourite (5/4) to take over for the ousted Galliano, according to British bookies Paddy Power.


So, now the question is: if Tisci's at Dior, who will replace him at Givenchy? Fashion's game musical chairs continues.
