what if.....

you had your IDEAL designer to replace John Galliano at Dior? I don't have anyone in particular, but here's a WILD GOOSE CHASE GUESS of what could POTENTIALLY HYPOTHETICALLY happen if some of these designers take the spot.

Alessandra Facchinetti got fired from her most lucrative job as being head designer of Valentino, with rumors of Valentino himself being un-approving of her designs. I specifically remeber when she was designing for the house, and I thought it was great. I liked the modernized, experimental takes on Valentino staples. However, what could she do for Dior? Maybe a light "fairy-airy" Dior with hyper experimental shapes? Dior staples are pretty traditional, so i'm assuming if she did a twist it would have to be something super dramatic or extravagant. Might look like this....

Olivier Theyskens was at Nina Ricci for a while, and while I didn't even catch up on Nina Ricci until his last collection, it really opened my eyes to his talent. Dior could mean he texturize EVERYTHING, something I noticed with each of his Nina Ricci collections. Since he had that whole "princess" thing going on over there, and Dior is a little more mature, his pieces could end up looking like this...

and just for good measure....


Nicolas Ghesquière is doing a good job at Balenciaga. Actually.... a REALLY REALLY good job. He is one of my personal favorite designers, and each season he completely redefines "modern" and "futuristic" in a new form of dressing. HOWEVER.... WHAT 
IFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
just by a WHIM L.V.M.H. was just like what the hell lets try it! It would be interesting to see how he tones down that futuristic craziness into something wearable without losing its touch, and if he does it well, could it potentially look like this?

SPECULATE AWAY!
