John Galliano Will Not Take Permanent Role at Oscar de la Renta; Bobbi Brown Named CEO of Yahoo Beauty

Galliano Will Not Take Permanent Role at Oscar de la Renta: After much speculation, John Galliano will not take on a permanent role at Oscar de la Renta. Galliano, who held a temporary residency in de la Renta's design studio leading up to the Fall/Winter 2013 collection, was considered a viable successor for the 81-year-old designer. “It is categorically not happening," a source told Page Six regarding Galliano's potential return to the company. "Oscar de la Renta is still looking for a new creative director.” Despite the success of his collaborative collection with the designer, Galliano reportedly was unable to come to monetary terms with the company. “The team at Oscar were not willing to put up the money to pay for the design team John needed, such as the cutters and other specialist support staff for his atelier," another source said. "Money was the biggest factor which held up the negotiations, and they couldn’t reach an agreement, although John and Oscar remain very good friends. John is grateful that Oscar gave him a second chance.” [Page Six]
