Fendi artistic director Kim Jones is leaving the Italian fashion house but will stay on at Dior Homme, LVMH's Fendi said in a statement on Friday, the latest in a series of designer shuffles at big name labels as the industry adjusts to a downturn.
A new creative organization for the label will be announced "in due time," the company said. One of the industry's highest profile designers, Jones succeeded Karl Lagerfeld at the label in 2020, designing ready-to-wear and couture collections.
Last week, LVMH named Michel Rider to succeed Hedi Slimane at Celine, and in September named Sarah Burton to take over creative direction at Givenchy.
