PARIS – Jonathan Anderson is Kim Jones‘ successor at Dior Men and will present his first collection during Paris Fashion Week in June, Bernard Arnault announced at the LVMH annual shareholders meeting on Thursday.
The chairman and chief executive officer of the French luxury giant was responding to a question from a shareholder about who would succeed Jones, who resigned from the role last January after an eventful seven-year tenure.
This marks the first time LVMH has made official that Anderson has a new role in the group since stepping down from Loewe last month after an acclaimed 11-year tenure.
Arnault did not elaborate further, despite widespread speculation Anderson may also take over the women’s department at Dior, currently led by Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri.
