Designing for the Parisian house since 2011, Jones’s collections have continued to push the travel aesthetic that is at the core of the label, taking inspiration from his trips to Japan, Africa and India. Not to mention enlisting the likes of the Chapman Brothers, and more recently the industry-shaking collab with Supreme. It has yet to be announced who will be replacing Jones following his final collection tomorrow at PFW. It is also unknown where the designer will be heading to next. Last year WWD reported that Jones was moving to Versace – a rumour that was denied by the Italian house. While Jones has never formally designed womenswear, his name has also been put in the running alongside Philo to take over at Burberry. It likely won’t be long before there is news on all of the open design positions, so watch this space.
