Dior Selects Creative Director: Raf Simons In, Galliano Out

It’s been quite some time since John Galliano disgraced the face of Dior after an anti-Semitic outburst got Galliano fired as Creative Director. In comes Raf Simons from Jil Sander to save the day! The French couture house names Belgian designer Raf Simons as its creative director Monday. With Simons taking over, it is expected that a more low-key design aesthetic will be seen during the collections to come. We were always such a fan of Galliano’s work, but sometimes things happen that can’t be undone. How do you all feel about Dior’s selection?
