DO YOU BELIEVE?

Posted by Fashion Junior at Large

Twitter has been all a buzz today with the news that Marc Jacobs is to move to Dior, with Phoebe Philo taking up office at Louis Vuitton while continuing to design for Celine. We reported a few weeks ago that Marc may have been in talks to take over the Dior role but the addition of Philo's name is a new detail to mull over.

Some examples of the tweets fuelling the rumour mill:

'@Bryanboy: Imagine: Marc Jacobs at Christian Dior, Phoebe Philo at Louis Vuitton. Match made in heaven, yes? Can Marc do couture? That's the question.'

'@FashionFoieGras: Marc Jacobs for Dior and Phoebe Philo to fill his shoes at Louis Vuitton... That is today's prediction of the fashion musical chairs'

'@Vogue_London: Is Marc Jacobs really set to take over at Dior, and will Phoebe Philo be taking his place at ?

'@JimShi809: said headed to , leaving open for Phoebe Philo (who'll also do Celine) & starting a major LVMH reshuffling.'
Where is Marc off too? Anywhere? (Image from fashionindie.com)
What are your thoughts, dear readers?

Would Phoebe Philo really take on the Louis Vuitton job when she has previously said that she only took on Celine because it meant she could remain and in London and juggle it with her two children? Would Marc tear himself away from all he has built up at Vuitton? What would Marc Jacobs' couture be like?

Can we really take these new rumours seriously? After all it's August and so everyone in Paris is en vacances. The FashEd's tip is that all will become clear in Septemeber once John Galliano has been sentenced. This is quite probably just another installment in this now long-running Dior job saga

    I just love love what Marc Jacob's does at LV though. I couldn't see LV without him. AW11 was sublime!

    I think it'll be a fresh and exciting start for everyone! I believe in Marc's abilities to design couture. I'm very curious how everything will look in the end with the rumours. Maybe they're true?!

    I don't know why he would leave Louis Vuitton though... He is doing so well for so long. does he want to save and recreate Dior like he did with Louis Vuitton?
    We'll just have to wait

    Nothing seems impossible at this point, I guess. But that same rumour surfaced last month and MJ denied it. That doesn't mean anything, I'm just saying... Personally, I'm with Caitlin - Phoebe is so great at Celine and she and the brand together make so much sense, I hope she stays there.

    I have a feeling some of their 'first' choices may have declined (Haider Ackermann?) and they're scrambling to find someone. Or we may have a little laugh soon because it's always been Ricardo Tisci. However, I think they will have to do another show (albeit not couture) without a proper creative director and it may very well be another disaster.

    Marc's A/W '10 collection for Louis Vuitton was extremely redolent of Dior, but I'm yet to be convinced that he has the 'showmanship' to match Galliano.

    Now, as for Phoebe Philo at LV... *shudders*.
