Now that Raf Simons looks like the most likely contender for the top job at Dior, Marc Jacobs has spoken out to say, actually, he wasn't interested in the position at all - quite eloquently really. It's enough to make his mother proud, if the designer hadn't also announced in the same interview that he doesn't love his family. Don't feel too sad for him being alone at Christmas, though, because he might be getting a served a rather massive portion of meat courtesy of his rumoured new porn star boyfriend instead.

Talking to US Vogue about all the Dior hoo-ha, Jacobs explained:

"I am at Vuitton, and I am very happy there. I've been saying that for a long time. There have been on-and-off conversations about Dior. I don't know; maybe someday in the future, maybe years from now, I may end up going someplace else, maybe Dior. But right now I am at Vuitton, and all that matters to me is that that's where I am and I'm going to keep doing my thing.

"The irony in all of this is that I don't dream of doing anything else, or I didn't. My greatest challenge is to do something better than we've done the season before. The idea of couture doesn't hold that thing for me. It's archaic - in my opinion. I mean, I am really interested in the craftsmanship behind couture. But I can explore all that in ready-to-wear. With couture, one dress each season is photographed by a couple of magazines; there's no advertising; it reaches 20 customers. I don't feel there is anything lacking in what we do. I get to work with these amazing craftsmen. Maybe not the same ateliers that would make a couture dress, but, again, we are not in a deficit for working with people who create beautiful things. I am not sure I ever looked at couture as this great opportunity."

And on family, he added:

"I hate this idea that you have to love somebody because they are your family. Nobody can tell me what I'm supposed to feel and who I am supposed to feel it for. I don't blame them, I don't hate them, I just know that I don't feel love for them. That's all. And I am not going to make the call or try to stay in touch because society says, But it's your mother. Oedipus, Schmoedipus."

We're not sure if he feels love for his rumoured new boyfriend, Harry Louis, but he'll certainly feel something, nudge nudge. The Brazilian porn star tweeted the above pic of the pair, writing:

"What a great weekend thanks to the sweetest guy on earth, Marc Jacobs , see you soon in Paris baby... X"
