Kim Jones is Fendi's New Artistic Director of Women's Collections

'To be able to join the house of Fendi as well as continuing my work at Dior Men’s is a huge privilege.'

Jones joins Silvia Venturini Fendi, a third-generation member of the family-run house and creator of the Baguette bag, in the top tier of Fendi’s design structure. He will oversee haute couture, ready-to-wear and fur collections, while she will continue her role in creating accessories and men’s collections.

There are certainly big shoes to fill in this new adventure as Jones is taking on the position Karl Lagerfeld held from 1977 until his death last year. We got a glimpse at his warm, encouraging welcome into the Fendi fam after Silvia posted a sweet text between the two on Instagram earlier today. And in a year devoid of major creative leadership announcements–for obvious reasons, the news heralds something to look forward to at a time when we need it most.
