Kim Jones plans to return to designing under his own name, with his first collection scheduled for Fall 2027. The label is expected to span fashion, art and design, with a Hong Kong store planned for October 2027; further details, including pricing and the collection’s release date, have not been announced in the source report.
Kim Jones plans to return to designing under his own name, with his first collection for a relaunched label scheduled for Fall 2027, according to Harper’s Bazaar. The project will give the designer a platform outside the established luxury houses where he has worked, and is planned to include fashion, art and design.
Jones launched his first label in 2003 and closed it in 2008, before taking senior roles at Dunhill, Louis Vuitton, Dior Men and Fendi. He left Fendi in late 2024 and Dior in early 2025. The planned collection marks his return to an independent namesake project after nearly two decades away from that label.
Harper’s Bazaar reports that the new line will focus on versatile clothing for men and women and will look beyond fashion’s traditional categories. Jones also intends to explore art and design. Production is planned predominantly in Japan, while leather goods are expected to be made in Italy.
The report says the label’s first store is scheduled to open in Hong Kong in October 2027, with additional stores across Asia and international retail partners expected to follow. Those are plans, rather than completed openings; the report does not give locations for the other stores or name retail partners.
A Platform Beyond Luxury Houses
Jones’s return matters because it puts his design approach back under his own name rather than within a single house’s established identity. At Louis Vuitton, Dior Men and Fendi, he drew on each brand’s history while bringing in references from streetwear, sport, music, art and youth culture. A standalone label could give him more freedom to combine those interests across both clothing and objects, though its actual direction will not be clear until the collection is presented.
His career also sits within the broader shift that brought streetwear and designer collaborations into luxury fashion. Jones helped make those connections prominent through projects including Louis Vuitton’s 2017 collaboration with Supreme and later work at Dior involving Stüssy, Yoon Ahn, Daniel Arsham and ERL. The new label arrives with that history behind it, but its commercial reach and audience remain untested.
The planned mix of Japanese production, Italian leather goods and a first store in Hong Kong signals an international structure from the outset. For shoppers and industry observers, the announcement is a reason to watch how the label balances fashion, art and design; it is not yet evidence of what products will be available or at what prices.

From Namesake Label to Dior
Jones, a London-born designer, launched his original label in 2003 after graduating from Central Saint Martins. Harper’s Bazaar reports that part of his graduate collection was bought by John Galliano. Jones closed the label in 2008 when he took a role leading British luxury brand Dunhill, then joined Louis Vuitton’s menswear division as style director in 2011.
In March 2018, Dior appointed him artistic director of menswear. In September 2020, he also became artistic director at Fendi, overseeing couture, ready-to-wear and fur. He left Fendi in late 2024 and Dior in early 2025. Since then, he has taken on other projects: the report says he became creative director of Areal, a high-end urbanwear line under Chinese outerwear company Bosideng, in 2025, and launched a collaboration with Aman Essentials this summer.
Across those roles, Jones was known for bringing contemporary references to heritage labels and for collaborations with artists and fashion brands. His return is distinct because the work will not be filtered through Dior, Fendi or Louis Vuitton, although the new label’s designs have not yet been shown.

Details Still Awaiting Confirmation
The announcement sets out a planned launch timetable, but key operating details are not included in Harper’s Bazaar’s report. It does not specify the collection’s exact presentation or sale date, how many pieces it will include, its price range, or whether the line will be available online at launch.
It is also unclear which international retail partners will carry the label, what additional Asian store locations are planned, and whether the Hong Kong opening will proceed on the October 2027 schedule. The report describes the label’s intended focus and manufacturing locations, but does not provide product images or further detail on how its art and design work will be presented.
Jones’s past influence provides context, not a guarantee of the new label’s reception. Until the first collection and business details are public, judgments about its design, availability and commercial prospects remain speculative.

The Road to Fall 2027
The next major milestone is the planned presentation of the label’s first collection in Fall 2027. Before then, further announcements could clarify when the collection will be shown and sold, which retail partners will participate, and what categories and prices shoppers can expect. The source report does not identify dates for those announcements.
The label is also expected to open its first store in Hong Kong in October 2027, followed by additional Asian stores and international retail partnerships. Those plans will be easier to evaluate as locations and partners are named. For now, the confirmed news is Jones’s intention to relaunch the label and the timetable reported for its first collection and store.
