Grazia reports that Gareth Pugh will be the new head designer of Dior Homme, describing the move as a “done deal”. Bad news for Kris van Assche whose tenure is slated to end “any day now” but good news for fashion forward men everywhere. Can’t wait to see how Pugh will revitalize the brand, hopefully via a signature Dior Homme gimp mask? Here’s what Grazia had to say:
It’s true! Gareth Pugh IS taking over at Dior Homme. The rumours started when Delphine Arnault, the daughter of LVMH head honcho Bernard Arnault sat front row at his debut menswear show in Paris, and now we’ve heard from well placed sources backstage at Louise Goldin that it’s a done deal. No official from LVMH yet but we’re expecting the announcement that Gareth is taking over from Dior Homme’s current designer Kris van Assche any day now.
