Who will be Dior's next designer?

Paris Fashion week is in full swing and clothes by Portuguese designer Fatima Lopes were first down the runway.

But the talk back stage isn't confined to the latest designs - the next big appointment at Christian Dior is a hot topic.

The brand is still without a designer six months after John Galliano's dramatic firing for making anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris bar.

Tipped to take over is U.S. designer Mark Jacobs who's currently working for Dior's sister brand Louis Vuitton.
