Jones has stepped down at the Italian brand, which is said to be in talks with several potential successors, including Pierpaolo Piccioli.

The British designer has made a significant contribution to Fendi’s creative legacy, “seamlessly integrating his modern and cross-cultural aesthetics with Fendi’s historical heritage,” fashion group LVMH said.

The British designer is parting ways with the Roman house after an eventful four-year collaboration. He continues as artistic director of men's collections at Dior.
