Jones has stepped down at the Italian brand, which is said to be in talks with several potential successors, including Pierpaolo Piccioli.

The British designer has made a significant contribution to Fendi’s creative legacy, “seamlessly integrating his modern and cross-cultural aesthetics with Fendi’s historical heritage,” fashion group LVMH said.

On Friday, LVMH confirmed that Kim Jones would be stepping down from his post as women’s wear designer at Fendi after four years, but that he would remain as artistic director of Dior men’s wear, a job he has held since 2018.

The British designer is parting ways with the Roman house after an eventful four-year collaboration. He continues as artistic director of men's collections at Dior.

“Kim Jones is a highly talented designer who has brought his unique and multicultural vision to Fendi over the past four years. I would like to thank him for his contribution and look forward to continuing to witness his creativity at Dior Men’s,” said Bernard Arnault, chairman and CEO of LVMH, in a statement.
