Marc Jacobs to Take Over at Dior?Marc Jacobs (Bauer Griffin) WWD reports that Marc Jacobs is a frontrunner for one of the most talked-about positions in the fashion industry: Creative director of Christian Dior. The post has been vacant since the dismissal of John Galliano in February following allegations of anti-Semitism.

The move might make sense: Jacobs' contract with Louis Vuitton is up quite soon, and he has one of the most bankable names in the business. Should Marc make the move, some speculate that Celine's Phoebe Philo could take his place. Other designers reportedly considered for the Dior position include Alber Elbaz and Nicolas Ghesquiére, as well as Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton, who reportedly "rebuffed overtures" about the job.

If you were Marc Jacobs, would you jump the monogrammed LV ship for Dior?
