Ricardo Tisci Replaces John Galliano as Dior's Creative Director

After the sudden departure of John Galliano from Dior, the label hired Ricardo Tisci as its new creative director. Tisci is an Italian fashion designer who graduated from London's Central Saint Martins Academy. In 2005, he was named as the creative director of Givenchy womenswear, haute couture. Three years later, the responsibility of designing the label's menswear and accessories line was entrusted to him as well.

This designer revived Givenchy with his Gothic touches and space-age minimalism. He designed the costumes for Madonna’s 2008 Sticky & Sweet tour and the red carpet gown of Cate Blachett during the Oscars. With his departure from the label, the question now is who will run Givenchy?
