Jewish designer at the helm of Dior

Rumour has it that Marc Jacobs is to replace John Galliano who was let go following the scandal of him hurling anti-Semitic comments in a public place.

Is it fashion irony or fashion diplomacy that Marc Jacobs, who embodies the typical New-York Jewish gay, would follow Galliano?
Phoebe Philo - currently working at CĂ©line -  is said to take in the steps of Marc Jacobs at Louis Vuitton, where he´s been officing for 14 years.
Both would remain in the stable of LVMH a pool of disposable and interchangeable winning designers.

The luxury industry is a great merry-go-round. It seems that only Karl remains sternly on his throne.
