document: Dior Will Replace Galliano Whenever They Darn Well Please , All Right ? Comment It 's Riccardo Tisci ! Wait , it 's Jean Paul Gaultier ? Or Olivier Theyskens ? Oh my God , when will they announce the replacement so we can rest easy that Dior will still be carried in stores and photographed in magazines ?! Of course , the label is doing just fine . At a shareholders ' meeting for Dior yesterday , LVMH chief Bernard Arnault announced that Dior 's large design team is functioning smoothly without a creative leader for now , and that they 'll name Galliano 's successor when they feel like it . As evidenced by the label 's fall collection , which walked at its scheduled time without a hitch and received perfectly decent reviews , there 's a large and capable group of people behind the Dior label who can steer the ship . Also , Dior 's revenues were up a solid 15 percent in the year 2010 , so people are obviously still buying the label . Reports Women 's Wear Daily : `` Nothing has been decided , '' said Arnault , explaining that Dior would see a number of candidates and then reflect on its options -- with no specific deadline in mind , and only taking a decision when `` conviction '' arrives . In the interim , Dior 's design studios would soldier on making collections . `` They are effective , creative and accustomed to doing so , '' he assured . `` The calendar will be respected , '' added Dior chief executive Sidney Toledano , suggesting Dior will not shun the Paris runways , even absent a creative leader . In the meantime , Arnault seems even gleeful about the guessing game that even his own shareholders are playing : Told by one shareholder Dior might consider French couturier Jean Paul Gaultier , who recently wrapped up a seven-year stint as the women 's ready-to-wear designer at HermÃ ¨ s , Arnault replied merrily : `` I 'll note your suggestion . '' Let 's not forget , this is the guy who kept his Hermजs purchases hidden from the company itself , so it 's safe to say he can play his cards close to his chest . When they feel like telling us , we 'll know . Record Sales , Earnings at LVMH -LSB- WWD -RSB-
