They won't hire Marc because when he had talks about Dior a long time ago, he only wanted to design 4 collections and live in NYC

I think he is willing to compromise now even more considering that the plans to relaunch his brand never worked. I mean, he is doing 2 collections a year sold exclusively at Bergdorf. At best he is just spending time at the office playing with nail polishes.

The thing that almost everyone forgets about Marc Jacobs at Chanel is that his brand is owned by LVMH, meaning that there's probably a clause saying he can't work for brands outside of the LVMH space. Unless he's willing to leave his brand, Jacobs at Chanel isn't happening.

Exactly!
That being said, sometimes, there are loop holes.
How much of his brand he still owns? Maybe he has an exclusivity in terms of territory.
It would be very bold of him to declare loudly that he wants that job without knowing the contractual issues it implies.

I know Daniel Lee is fuming at these rumors right now.

He should've never left BV.

The first image that came into my head when I read this were all of the Bravo Housewives who wear those dangling earrings that read "CHA" in one ear and "NEL" in the other.

Plot twist. It's NELCHA

If only it was his call. He was essentially forced out.

The sad part is, Luann is probably one of the less tacky ones in the franchise. The Salt Lake City women are way worse.

Well if only he wasn't so difficult to work with...

Phoebe would probably be the best as things are.

Phoebe would probably be the best as things are.

Absolutely not. Her aesthetic has been prostituted to death and beyond, from every single major minimalist luxury brand to the plethora of digitally native mid-market brands that populate Instagram. Chanel needs to do literally ANYTHING, but that.

And that's a good thing. I mean, don't get me wrong; I'm sure He can make great things, but can you imagine those Lesage pieces that took 4-6 months to craft arriving at the atelier, then Marc shows up with his insane nails and everyone around is horrified watching his live performance of Edward Scissorhands
