Jones will present his debut collection for the Maison this June, during Paris Men's Fashion Week.

Here&#39;s the latest in a slew of shake-ups within the fashion industry:&nbsp;Kris Van Assche has stepped down as Artistic Director of Dior Homme after 11 years at the brand. His successor has already been named, and it&#39;s none other than the former Louis Vuitton&#39;s men&#39;s artistic director, Kim Jones.

&nbsp;

In a statement, Van Assche said, &quot;After 11 years at Dior Homme, my mind and heart filled with experiences, I am leaving this beautiful house to pursue new challenges.&quot;&nbsp;

The Belgian designer has also taken to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kris_van_assche/?hl=en">Instagram</a> to express his gratitude,&nbsp;with a caption saying,&nbsp;&quot;AFTER 11 YEARS&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/DIORHOMME/">@DIORHOMME</a>, TIME HAS COME FOR ME TO MOVE ON TO NEW ADVENTURES. I THANK MY WONDERFUL TEAM WITH ALL MY HEART.&quot;

&nbsp;

Previously at Yves Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, Van Assche joined Dior Homme in 2007, where he shaped the Maison&#39;s menswear collections&nbsp;with&nbsp;New Wave and 90&#39;s skate influences. It was there that he&nbsp;forged his signature urban, minimal&nbsp;aesthetic, which is not a far cry from what his successor, Kim Jones,&nbsp;has to offer.

&nbsp;

Set to&nbsp;present his first collection for Dior Homme during Paris Men&#39;s Fashion Week in June, Jones is credited for introducing streetwear to&nbsp;Louis Vuitton. A&nbsp;bold mix&nbsp;of punk style and high fashion, Jones&#39;s innovative menswear&nbsp;designs elevated the historic brand to a newfound cool status.&nbsp;This was only cemented at the Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2017 show, where Jones&nbsp;unveiled&nbsp;his highly raved-about&nbsp;collaboration with streetwear giant and Hypebeast favourite, Supreme.

&nbsp;

Commenting on his new appointment, Jones said, &quot;I am deeply honoured to join the house of Dior, a symbol of the ultimate elegance. I am committed to create a modern and innovative male silhouette built upon the unique legacy of the house.&rdquo;
