Background

Dior sent shock waves through the opening day of Paris fashion week with its announcement Tuesday that it was firing Galliano after 14 years.
The provocative designer was detained last week after a couple accused him of making anti-Semitic remarks. A video of him saying "I love Hitler" later surfaced online.
An official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Dior is focusing on preparing for the show and would not comment on discussions of a replacement for Galliano. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of company policy.
Christian Dior will show its fall-winter ready-to-wear collection as planned later this week, despite the sudden sacking of John Galliano as its creative director.

A Dior official says the show remains scheduled for Friday.

After months of speculation, it appears, according to Fashionista.com, that Marc Jacobs has finally decided to turn down the job of Creative Director at Dior.

Jacobsâ€™ name had been thrown into the mixture very prematurely, way back in February when Givenchyâ€™s Riccardo Tisci and Haider Ackermann were the pegged forerunners for the position. Tisci is as happy as can be at LVMHâ€™s Givenchy, producing clothes that has kept the fashion set and Hollywoodâ€™s A-list in raptures, so he eventually bowed out. In hind sight, the consideration does feel a bit forced.
