By Mimosa Spencer PARIS (Reuters) -British fashion designer Kim Jones is stepping down as artistic director for menswear at Christian Dior, the LVMH-owned label said on Friday, signalling a potential shift in its design approach as the brand struggles with slowing sales.

The British designer logged an eventful 7 years helming its men's universe. He orchestrated high-profile collaborations, and gobsmacking show locations and sets.

After a critically and commercially successful tenure, Jones is stepping away from Dior Men after seven years at the house

Artistic director for Dior Homme Kim Jones has resigned. Having spent seven years in the position, Jones has made the decision to depart from the fashion house.

Kim Jones presented his fall collection for Dior in a black tent framing a white Busby Berkeley-style stairway. The clinically bare setting highlighted fabric and construction, the very fundamentals that set luxury clothing apart from mass-produced garments.

Fashion designer Kim Jones is leaving luxury group LVMH's Dior Homme brand, the label said on Friday, capping a seven-year tenure in the latest of a series of high profile designer reshuffles as the industry faces its slowest growth in years.

Subtle yet commanding, intricate yet profoundly moving, the collection captures the essence of a stage performance.

His last show for the house was followed not only by rave reviews but also a knighthood: the British designer was awarded France’s highest distinction, the chevalier de la Légion d’Honneur.
