After 7 years at Louis Vuitton as Men’s Artistic Director, Kim Jones will be stepping down from his current role, after the Maison’s Fall / Winter 18 show on Thursday, January 18. Kim Jones has been the driving force behind some of the Maison’s most successful projects and collaborations.
Michael Burke, Chairman & CEO of Louis Vuitton said “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.”
