Kim Jones - Designer

But who will do the man and who will do the woman ?

Obviously its a gender fluid brand.

Chitose Abe could do an amazing Dior Femme.

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

Assuming LVMH have already decided if / when Jonathan Anderson will be leaving Loewe / taking over Dior mens and womens / the Proenza boys coming to Loewe - I'm curious why they don't just announce it all at the same time?

What do they have to gain from dragging it out and announcing everything separately?

Is it simply good PR / publicity to get people speculating as a form of free brand advertising?

So it’s fair to say that JWA is going to be the CD for all the fashion side of Dior.
That’s one huge team if that happens.

It’s really a crazy amount of collections… and what about his own brand? He’s going to close it as Vaccarello’s?
