Photo: Getty Images  Who will take charge of Dior is the most asked question in fashion circles, but what Carine Roitfeld will do next has held strong at number two. Today, we have an answer to the second: French Vogue`s former editor will do as she said she would and consult for a variety of brands\u2014Barneys gets to go first. The beloved New York department store&amp;#039;s made a lot of changes lately, not all of which have observers jumping up and down, but regardless of how you feel about Julie Gilhart vs. Amanda Brooks we bet you&amp;#039;ll get excited over Carine&amp;#039;s involvement. Specifically, she&amp;#039;ll work with Mario Sorrenti on the AW11 campaign and star in a short film by Sorrenti. In a release she said, &amp;quot;To be able to work in the US, with Barneys, is a dream come true. It is my first time working on the retail side of the fashion business, and I am so excited. Barneys is my favorite store in the States and partnering with them has been thrilling for me.&amp;quot; The few cosmetic changes already made to Barneys\u2014black awnings, sleeker window styling and the intimate spring campaign featuring backstage images\u2013point to a sexier image wholly in line with Roitfeld&amp;#039;s iconic style. As if you&amp;#039;d ever need one more reason to shop at Barneys, the possibility of Roitfeld&amp;#039;s fashion magic rubbing off should make it impossible to resist.
