Got an email entltied 'Urgent Annoucement from Kim Jones' from A.D. PR this morning, can smell something fishy already.
hm...suprised yet also not surprised, Kim Jones work for dunhill wasn't very impressing. I understood his difficulties, continue the heritage of the brand while trying to blend new elements into it.
Who will be the next guy? Another menswear designer from UK again?
