Fashion career profile
Kim Jones
Kim Jones is the British designer whose career includes major creative-director roles across British and French luxury fashion. He was Men’s Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton from 2011 to 2018 and Artistic Director of Dior Men from 2018 to 2025. From 2020 to 2024, he also led couture and women’s ready-to-wear at Fendi. Earlier, Jones was Creative Director of Dunhill and founded his own label. The directory records these roles as dated mandates rather than presenting a designer’s name as a permanent ownership claim over each house. His Dior Men tenure is specifically distinguished from Jonathan Anderson’s later all-collections role at Dior, while his Louis Vuitton chapter remains connected to the menswear history that later continued under Pharrell Williams. The result is a career graph rather than a loose list of house associations.
