Kim Jones - Designer

JWA doing DH and MGC remaining at W would be a management related catastrophé I think
Well they already sort of have that at LV.. Nicolas and MAS are pushing tricky silhouettes that get worn mostly front row by their brand ambassadors, the bags are made for rich tourists, and the menswear is oversized, brightly-colored stuff for rappers to brag about.
LVMH is hardly going to find - or even look for - a single person willing to do all of Dior (womenswear AND menswear with all the accessories they push AND couture AND all the events one has to attend as a CD, pun intended) bcs that is A LOT of work, which is probably also why they never even tried it. Galliano burnt out, it was too much for Raf as well, and the menswear was kind of a separate entity from the start, no one tried to match the womenswear like Prada, Marni or Jil Sander have been doing since ever.
As for Kim Jones, he would likely be a match for Burberry, since he does corporate luxury rather convincingly and could probably give them the not-too-fashiony-yet-aspirational image they want.
 
This was so predictable considering how the decline in streetwear and most customers opting for Pharrel LV
