>> After Haider Ackermann's name was thrown into the ring of potential Dior designers on March 1, his phone started ringing non-stop, according to Katou Brandsma, who represents the designer. "When everything went mad, he locked himself in his showroom and turned off his BlackBerry. I believe it's still off now," Brandsma said, almost two weeks after. "It was a very bizarre fashion week, but a very good one for us. Everyone was congratulating us. We had buyers from shops, like Barneys in New York, we've been waiting for 10 years to turn up to our shows. Our designs stood out because everyone else — apart from McQueen — was so boring."

Natalia Vodianova, Justin Portman Still Married, Says Rep

>> Natalia Vodianova walked a couple of shows in Paris last week (Givenchy, Hakaan), sat in a few more front rows (Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Christian Dior), and even found the time to run the Paris half marathon for her Naked Heart charity in between.

>> Natalia Vodianova walked a couple of shows in Paris last week (Givenchy, Hakaan), sat in a few more front rows (Louis Vuitton, Valentino, Stella McCartney, Christian Dior), and even found the time to run the Paris half marathon for her Naked Heart charity in between. Her three children accompanied her front row to Stella McCartney, but her husband, Justin Portman — to whom Vodianova has been married since 2001 and who usually pops up wherever she is — was nowhere to be seen. The couple has been plagued by rumors of separation recently, and sources tell Page Six they have been spending less time together; Portman was reportedly at their house in Uruguay during the shows. Vodianova's rep, meanwhile, says: "They are still married. She is traveling and very busy with her career." [NY Post]

>> The 90-second spot of Kate Moss's commercial for the upcoming Dior Addict lipstick, which hits stores next month, has leaked. Directed by Jonas Akerlund, who also did Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" music video, this film, too, centers somewhat on paparazzi: it starts with Kate Moss in a luxe hotel room before panning to her chauffeured car ride and the subsequent paparazzi scrum (which meets her as she exits to take in the Spring 2011 Dior show). Runway footage is included, but no John Galliano appearance, of course.

Michael Kors, Rachel Zoe, and Natalia Vodianova Weigh in on the John Galliano Scandal

>> Many designers, models, and industry figures have given their thoughts on John Galliano and his scandal in the past couple of weeks; today, the words of a few more — Rachel Zoe, Natalia Vodianova, and Michael Kors — have been published: Rachel Zoe: “It’s a little insane and super-sad.

>> Many designers, models, and industry figures have given their thoughts on John Galliano and his scandal in the past couple of weeks; today, the words of a few more — Rachel Zoe, Natalia Vodianova, and Michael Kors — have been published:

Rachel Zoe: “It’s a little insane and super-sad. Anti-Semitism, racism or any prejudice is not something I tolerate. I’ve fired clients because they were anti-Semitic, or anti-everything, except what they were . . . I’ve known John Galliano and his boyfriend for years. I don’t know enough about it to make a clear statement, but if it’s true, it’s tragic.”

Natalia Vodianova: “I have seen so many people do monstrous things under the influence of alcohol and drugs. This is a disease. I hope John will get help, and that’s what he needs right now. That’s what we should care about is the person. Everything’s going on — as long as it goes on for John as well. He’s certainly not a bad man. We all know that.”

Michael Kors: “I’m not saying that he shouldn’t have the rules of everyone else, but it breaks my heart to see someone as talented as he is to be in this situation."

LVMH's Bernard Arnault on Who Might Replace John Galliano; Plus, Is Marc Jacobs Interested in the Dior Spot?

>> Some rumors have the Dior job signed and sealed — with Riccardo Tisci at the helm — but according to LVMH head Bernard Arnault, as of this morning, no decision had been made about John Galliano's replacement. “We’re thinking,” he said at the Louis Vuitton show.

>> Some rumors have the Dior job signed and sealed — with Riccardo Tisci at the helm — but according to LVMH head Bernard Arnault, as of this morning, no decision had been made about John Galliano's replacement. “We’re thinking,” he said at the Louis Vuitton show. Suzy Menkes reports: "People close to LVMH who chose not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the subject say [Marc] Jacobs is a possible candidate, but he does the Vuitton thing so well that it would be a risk to move him." When asked whether he had designs on the Dior position, Jacobs replied: "No! I haven’t been asked.” [IHT]

Has Riccardo Tisci Signed a Contract at Dior?

Has Riccardo Tisci Signed a Contract at Dior?

>> Riccardo Tisci as Dior's next designer is looking more and more likely — after this morning's rumors pointing that way, Hint now reports: "Today we hear from a highly credible source that a contract has been signed with Riccardo Tisci.

>> Riccardo Tisci as Dior's next designer is looking more and more likely — after this morning's rumors pointing that way, Hint now reports: "Today we hear from a highly credible source that a contract has been signed with Riccardo Tisci. Of course, the big caveat is you never really know until an announcement is made." And no announcement or official confirmation has been made; although some are expecting it might come today, Dior is not legally permitted to do so until the termination proceedings against Galliano (which could take several weeks) are complete.
