Haider Ackermann Dior Rumors Heat Up
It’s been over a year since John Galliano was ousted from his job at the helm of Dior, but the rumors about who might replace him haven’t stopped flying. Marc, Stefano, Riccardo, Phoebe…while plenty of names have been brought up, we just can’t help but go back to Haider Ackermann.
The designer himself isn’t doing much to quell the speculation. And in a new interview with the Financial Times, Ackermann plays coy—but says that he’s certainly thought about taking on another job.

"There are two houses I would be interested in," Ackermann said, according to Vogue U.K. "Two where I feel there is shared sensibility, and I could bring something else of myself to the house, which isn't expressed in my own line."
Naturally, he doesn’t name the houses in question, but it’s easy to imagine he speaks of Dior and possibly Chanel (he is, after all, the designer that Karl Lagerfeld personally suggested as his successor).
This season has brought more than its fair share of shake-ups at major houses: Raf Simons out and Jil Sander in at Jil Sander, and Stefano Pilati out and Hedi Slimane in at YSL, among others. Who’s ready for another round of designer musical chairs?
