Perhaps he will succeed Stefano Pilati at YSL after all?
oh god NO. Stefano is perfectly fine where he is, especially after the last couple seasons

Anna Dello Russo told us she thinks Raf Simons is NOT headed to Dior
Anna Dello Russo shared her insight on the matter with us.
“It’s really a shame for me [that Raf is leaving Jil Sander],” she told us. “He did an incredible job.” It’s true–ADR is not the only person who’ll be mourning the loss of Raf at Jil. But what about Dior? Perhaps we’ll get to see Simons’ expert design skills put to good use at the storied French house?
“No I don’t think so,” Dello Russo told us. “I wish, I wish, but I don’t think so. Because actually that rumor was a long time ago.”
“I think he will concentrate on his own line, [with] his name,” she said. “I think maybe adding womens next to men.”
Whether Raf goes to Dior or not, we really hope Anna is at least right about that womenswear line!
^ le figaro just wrote that hedi slimane is going to ysl, LOL

Now Rumours Suggest Christopher Kane is to Replace John Galliano at Dior
The never-ending designer musical chairs is all anyone can talk — and tweet — about this Milan Fashion Week. First came the news that Raf Simons is leaving his position as Creative Director at Jil Sander, cemented by an emotional farewell during his final show this weekend. Earlier today, Yves Saint Laurent confirmed Stefano Pilati will be ending his tenure at the brand, with the possibility of Hedi Slimane taking his place. And now the rumour mill has thrown another name into the mix: Christopher Kane.
In her column for the International Herald Tribune, Suzy Menkes addresses the current 'firestorm' buzzing through cybersphere and reminds us of those Dior rumours. 'The drama that started almost exactly a year ago with the breakdown and departure of John Galliano from Dior has spread across the fashion universe,' she notes.
The respected fashion writer goes onto talk about the successful collaboration between Donatella Versace and Christopher Kane, but asks 'what if — as the rumor mill claims — Mr. Kane has been put up for the Dior job?' Oooh. His whimiscal designs would certainly suit the French fashion house's fantastical femininity, from gingham to his current collection of floral confections.
Back in August 2011, Cathy Horyn mused that Kane 'needs a bigger stage for his imaginative fashion. Just about everyone in the business is curious to see what he does each season. And working with Donatella Versace has enlarged his understanding of big brands' — so could the Scot be the man for the job?
At the British Fashion Awards in December, Grazia Daily asked the London-based designer, who showed his Autumn Winter 2012 collection last week, who he'd like to see stepping into John Galliano's shoes at Dior. 'I don’t want to say,' he told us. 'It’s such a hard place to fill and John Galliano was such an amazing designer, so we’ll see.'
