Hell, even I was considered at some point. But nevertheless, here’s a familiar name to throw back into the ring: Haider Ackermann.

Haider Ackermann Returns to the Race for the Dior Gig

Based solely on a delivery of flowers to the Dior atelier addressed to Ackermann, Vogue UK has started the ball rolling on another round of conjecture. While Karl Lagerfeld has made his intentions clear that he would like Ackermann to take over for him at Chanel once he dies retires, the same clearly cannot be said for Dior.

As for Simons, the mag reports that negotiations with Dior may have stalled — sound familiar? — and that Bill Gaytten‘s appointment may have been extended.

Gaytten is busy prepping the Christian Dior fall 2012 collection, but according to the Telegraph, his success at the luxury house — as well as his 17 years of loyalty — may not go unrecognized. Dior’s sales are booming so there may be no need to fix the formula if ain’t broke to begin with.

Either way, stay tuned…

The latest celeb news has top actress and star of recent movie Salt Angelina Jolie celebrating her son Maddox’s ninth birthday with a birthday party at Go Kart World in Carson, California. Jolie also recently told The Daily Telegraph that her family “is both my strength and my weakness.”

Mother of six and celebrity fashion trend maker Jolie, who is raising the children with Brad Pitt, told the Telegraph her kids make her “feel like the most important person in the world.” She also said she loves being able to live in different places around the world.

But her son’s birthday party couldn’t have been more All-American, with Maddox, his siblings and friends eating cake and pizza and zooming around the Mini Indy Track in Go Karts. Asked how she feels about Maddox getting his driver’s license for real in a few years, Jolie responded, “I’m not ready for any of it.”

Socks and shoes, a classic fashion faux pas, are emerging with a vengeance this season. Liven up your foot-looks with a pair of socks- wear them high and tight, or slouchy around your ankles. But before you try this at home, a few caveats for all you eager kids:
The schoolgirl appeal of this look isn’t quite suited for older women, or for you girls with thicker legs. That little gap of flesh between sock and hem has great potential great good or for great evil. Fear it.
Light and casual is the way to go when trying this. As Hilary Alexander of Telegraph Fashion puts it: “It’s the funky, slightly geeky contrast that makes the look work.”

Gotta say that I must agree with Georgio Armani on his recent comments made in an interview with the Telegraph

“Sit up straight and tuck your shirts in! Also, wash your hair and shave already. It is time to straighten ourselves out, we are too slovenly,” he said. He blamed the lack of decent dressing on a culture of “atrocious permissiveness”.

“Everything seems to be allowed, even eating and drinking in a church square while stripped to the waist.

Armani also told the paper he “inject[ed] a severity” into his men’s show to “communicate respect, which is a rare commodity these days.”

Guess I was right about men turning into pansies!!!
