The 'Marc Jacobs for Dior' rumors may be so "2011" but hat doesn't mean that the new head designer guessing game has been laid to rest.Following the twitter rumors Raf Simons was in the running to become John Galliano's successor at the French fashion house...Today after less than a year, 27-year-old French fashion designer Maxime Simoens is leaving his post as creative director for Paris-based fashion label, Leonard. Sources tell WWD that "Dior has conducted talks" with the young talent. Although some would say that this is a pretty risky move since Simoens is rather unknown, we think it just might be what Dior needs to refresh their aesthetic. And yes, he's young, but Balmain hired a 25-year-old to run their label after Christophe Decarnin left and that worked out great!
