Kim Jones is stepping down from his role as artistic director of Fendi, LVMH announced today.

The British designer succeeded the late Karl Lagerfeld in designing Fendi haute couture, ready-to-wear and fur in 2020.

The brand also scaled back its use of fur under Jones, with a focus on recycled alternatives.

LVMH doesnt break out Fendis annual growth, so his impact is difficult to chart.

Jones will remain as artistic director of Dior Men, a post hes held since 2018.

At Dior Men, Jones has continued to explore collaborations, from artist Daniel Arsham to Stone Island.

A new creative organisation for Fendi will be announced in due time, LVMH said.
