From all the rumors, it seems Riccardo really wanted the job and finally got it. I have to say I'm disappointed. Riccardo at Givenchy was magic. Givenchy just won't be the same after he leaves. I assume his muses (Mariacarla, Panos, etc.) will follow him to Dior.
And what about menswear? It would be a shame if Riccardo only does womenswear when he takes helm at Dior.
I guess it's bittersweet. I know he will do wonders at Dior, but at the same time, I will miss Riccardo at Givenchy, a house he has become synonymous with.
