BUSINESS: BRITISH DESIGNER KIM JONES QUITS DIOR MENSWEAR
After seven years in charge of Dior Homme’s menswear collections, British designer Kim Jones announced his resignation as artistic director on Friday.
“The House of Dior wishes to express its deepest gratitude to Kim Jones, who has accelerated the development of men’s collections internationally and has greatly contributed to the worldwide influence of the house by creating an inspiring wardrobe that is both classic and contemporary, and connected to some artists of our time,” it said on X.
The 51-year-old Londoner began work at Dior in 2018 and initially introduced a younger streetwear-influenced look to the classic Parisian house.
Believing that “gender doesn’t matter any more”, his designs are deliberately androgenous.
Drawing inspiration from the fashion house’s renowned Line H collection for fall-winter 1954–1955, he debuted his final collection for Dior Homme in Paris last week, putting some models in blindfolds.
After four years in charge, Jones resigned in October of last year as the artistic director of womenswear for Fendi, another LVMH-owned brand.
