January 17th, 2018
After 7 years Kim Jones decided to abandon the role of artistic director of the Louis Vuitton man lines.
The official farewell will coincide with the FW18 fashion show scheduled for Thursday, January 18th during the Paris Fashion Week.
Thanks to designers graduated at the prestigious Saint Martins and his ability to combine luxury and street wear, which is the emblem of the collaboration with Supreme, the French brand has become a cult crosswise loved by celebrities, journalists and millenials.
"It has been a huge privilege to work with Kim",
said Michael Burke, Presidente & CEO of LV,
"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".
Until a few months ago many predicted for Jones a future from Versace, but now, after the denial of the jellyfish label, rumors indicate him as Burberry's new creative director in place of Christopher Baily who will leave the British brand in March 2018.
Is it true? No idea, however, on who will replace Kim from Louis Vuitton.
