HOMME-WARD BOUND?: Browne

• A source connected with Thom Browne, the menswear designer loved by Anna, has been confessing to friends that the Browne camp is making way for a "big announcement" this week. Could it be that he has decided to take the Dior Homme job now held by Hedi Slimane? (The Daily News reported two weeks ago that the he was mulling the offer.) With the Thom Browne show taking place at Exit Art tomorrow, speculation is mounting.

• Other fashion musical chairs are in the air this week, with Nina Ricci's Lars Nilsson reportedly cozying up to Oscar de la Renta and Olivier Theyskens said to be moving into the Ricci design director's slot. But you already knew that. And for those of you convinced that Nicolas Ghesquiere is the reigning King of Fashion, you'll get a chance to prostrate yourselves as Barneys celebrates Balenciaga tonight....
