Kim Jones, the Men’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, is parting ways with the French House after 7 years of exceptional success and contribution. Jones, who has been the mastermind behind the House’s most iconic projects, will be exiting Louis Vuitton right after the Fall/Winter 2018 show on Thursday 18, January 2018.

“It has been a huge privilege to work with Kim. His ability to set trends is impeccable and his talent and determination have ensured that Louis Vuitton is firmly placed as the leading brand in luxury Menswear today. All of us who have been fortunate to work with Kim wish him continued success in his next venture,” said Michael Burke, Chairman & CEO of Louis Vuitton.

The English designer, who graduated from Central St Martins in 2002, never failed to transpose his talent and expertise unto the French Maison’s identity and values, asserting his position as one of the leading designers in Menswear. Louis Vuitton has yet to reveal Kim Jones’ successor, but the trendsetter’s last collection on Thursday is sure to leave its mark on the industry!
