British fashion designer Kim Jones is stepping down as artistic director for menswear at Christian Dior, the LVMH-owned label said on Friday, signalling a potential shift in its design approach as the brand struggles with slowing sales.

His last show for the house was followed not only by rave reviews but also a knighthood: the British designer was awarded France’s highest distinction, the chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.

After a critically and commercially successful tenure, Jones is stepping away from Dior Men after seven years at the house

Artistic director for Dior Homme Kim Jones has resigned. Having spent seven years in the position, Jones has made the decision to depart from the fashion house.

The British designer logged an eventful 7 years helming its men's universe. He orchestrated high-profile collaborations, and gobsmacking show locations and sets.
