Punters Can Bet on Galliano’s Replacement

John Galliano, former creative director for Christian Dior, shocked the fashion world and the general public when he was caught on tape, making anti-Semitic comments. He was immediately fired by the world-renowned fashion house and now punters across the UK are placing bets on who his replacement will be. 

A sport betting site is currently offering individuals the chance to bet on which designer will be taking the spot of the famed John Galliano. This site is one of the leaders in entertainment betting in the online world, allowing punters to bet on a wide range of topics, including sporting events, political elections and awards shows. 

Currently, the favourite at this site is Riccado Tisci. He is currently the creative director for Givenchy’s womenswear division and is the brand’s accessories designer. Givenchy is a sister brand of Dior, so his position puts him in the perfect place to take over the direction of Christian Dior. 

Alber Elvaz is the next choice. The Moroccan designer is the artistic director for Lavin in Paris. There is a great deal of competition for the coveted job position, so it will be interesting to see just exactly who is chosen. The pool of competitors is fierce, and they have some big shoes to fill.
