在Dior Homme擔任藝術總監11年的Kris Van Assche宣布離任，Christian Dior Couture也宣布由Kim Jones接任Dior Homme時裝與配件系列的藝術總監。
Christian Dior Couture主席暨執行長Peitro Beccari表示，Kris Van Assche為Dior Homme創造當代優雅紳士線條輪廓的貢獻，功不可沒，他在Dior Homme的歷史寫下了重要的篇章，同時也在它的發展歷程扮演了一個舉足輕重的角色。

Kris Van Assche表示，「11年的Dior Homme經歷，豐沛了我的閱歷，我離開這美好的品牌去迎接新的挑戰，我想感謝Bernard Arnault對我的信任，也感謝Sidney Toledano與Serge Brunschwig在Dior溫暖的歡迎，以及他們對這些年來的合作的持續支持，最後想對我的團隊、我的工作室與工坊獻上謝意，他們的支持以及他們的獨特才華和『製作工藝』，讓我所有的創作得以成真。」 Kris Van Assche也會繼續在LVMH集團內，持續貢獻他的長才，他的下一個挑戰，也會在日後擇日公布。
