Kim Jones has announced that he has decided to step down as Artistic Director of Dior Homme. 

After a seven-year tenure, Jones leaves behind an incredible legacy at the Maison as one of the most successful designers in the house’s history.

Jones, who took the reins at Dior Homme in 2018, has been instrumental in the growth of the house’s menswear. His ability to blend classic tailoring with avant-garde influences has garnered widespread acclaim, positioning Dior as a dominant force in global men’s fashion. From streetwear-infused luxury to groundbreaking artist collaborations, his creative direction has consistently redefined the boundaries of modern menswear.

Delphine Arnault, Chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, expressed her gratitude for Jones’ contributions: “I am extremely grateful for the remarkable work done by Kim Jones, his studio, and the ateliers. With all his talent and creativity, he has constantly reinterpreted the House’s heritage with genuine freedom of tone and surprising, highly desirable artistic collaborations.”

Throughout his tenure, Jones championed a dialogue between fashion and art, enlisting visionary collaborators such as Daniel Arsham, KAWS, and Travis Scott. These partnerships not only amplified Dior’s cultural relevance but also solidified its appeal to a new generation of luxury consumers. His collections were a testament to his meticulous craftsmanship, seamlessly intertwining couture techniques with modern silhouettes.

Reflecting on his departure, Jones said “It was a true honour to have been able to create my collections within the House of Dior, a symbol of absolute excellence. I express my deep gratitude to my studio and the ateliers who have accompanied me on this wonderful journey. They have brought my creations to life.”
