Apparently convinced that the French army will keep on trying to make a soldier of Yves Saint-Laurent for his full 27-month stint as a draftee, the House of Dior last week named his replacement as the world's most publicized fashion designer: Marc Bohan, 34, in charge of Dior's successful London operation in the past two years.
