Unpopular Opinion: John Galliano

Ever since designer John Galliano was fired from Dior for making some - shall we say - vulgar comments, we've been told Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci is taking over. Sure, Galliano made some very unnecessary remarks, but can anyone take his place?

Our opinion? No. John Galliano was refreshing, exciting, daring, and bold. Not to say Dior can't pull it off again, but the look will definitely have a shift in appearances. Although Tisci might try to keep Dior authentic, every single designer brings something new to the table - regardless of the look and feel of the fashion prior. Much like Karl Lagerfeld re-invented Chanel after Coco, this design line is going to take an absolute turn...the question is, for better or worse? We'll have to wait and see. Personally, I think the line will still be amazing, but will lack Galliano's magic touch.

And for the rumours that Marc Jacobs would be taking over the line:

"No. I hadn't even been asked."

And NY Mag.com says that Bernard Arnault, chairman and founder of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, can't officially make a decision before Galliano's contract is terminated, but that "Tisci has signed his Dior contract already."

What do you guys think? Can anyone place the great John Galliano?

    I highly disagree I think his style brought the Dior name down. It was neon light district whereas original Dior was classic and timeless. He was not bold and daring it was trashy and he was fired for good reason.

    Tisci illustrates his inspirations beautifully on his garments. I almost never have to read the press notes to know what idea Tisci was trying to convey in a collection for Givenchy's. But here is my problem with him; his garments never seem to fit properly, they never seem to move with the model in a fluent way. The house of the Dior is famous for their impeccable fit, and their flattering tailoring (Not just their couture). I'm just worried that if Tisci gets the job, Dior will lose that very rich part of their fashion history.

    I agree, he is simply the best but we just can't forgive his innapropriate comments, on the other side I don't know why do people mix fashion with his personal(wrong) point of view
