Kim Jones has officially announced his departure as the men's creative director at Dior after serving since 2018. His last show, which took place just a week prior, showcased his creative impact on the brand. In a heartfelt statement, Jones expressed gratitude for the opportunity and praised his team. Delphine Arnault, Dior's CEO, lauded his innovative reinterpretation of the brand’s heritage and artistic collaborations. Jones was recently honored with the Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur medal, which underscores his prominent influence within the fashion world, signifying a notable closure to his career at Dior.
Mr. Jones, a British fashion designer who has held that role since 2018, announced he was leaving the brand. It was a true honor to have been able to create my collections within the house of Dior, a symbol of absolute excellence.
Delphine Arnault, the chief executive of Dior, thanked Mr. Jones for his remarkable work. 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.
In light of the latest news, that award could be seen as the bow tied around his design career at Dior.
It was only a week ago, in the hours after Mr. Jones's final Dior show, that Ms. Arnault and her brother Antoine stood in the audience with members of Mr. Jones's staff.
