Raf Simons Jabs Galliano: How’s this for a burn? Last year, John Galliano was pushed out of his creative director job at Christian Dior and replaced with keen minimalist Raf Simons.

Though fear not, Jacobs is expected to hit New York again in time for his rescheduled symposium discussion with Fern Mallis at the 92Y on January 9. [Page Six]
