While studying at Central Saint Martins for an MA in
fashion, a substantial chunk of his 2001 graduate collection was bought by John
Galliano, giving Jones the funds to launch his eponymous label a year later.
Alongside his own collection, Jones has also designed and
worked for the likes of Uniqlo, Topman,
Mulberry, McQ by Alexander McQueen and Hugo Boss, and was appointed Creative
Director of British men’s luxury goods brand Alfred Dunhill in 2008.
In 2011 Jones was called on to replace Paul Helbers as the
style director of Louis Vuitton’s men’s ready-to-wear division.
Showing in Paris this season, Jones revealed his
autumn/winter 2016 collection for the fashion powerhouse.
Regular attendees of Jones' runway shows include the likes
of Kate Moss, Georgia May Jagger and Louis Hamilton.
A long-term supporter of the brand, Moss is also a dear
friend to the designer.
Giving a candid insight into his private life to ES
Magazine, the designer said: “It was really nice this weekend - we did a Sunday
roast and Kate was our server!”
Despite revealing that the supermodel, David Beckham and
Will Smith are still his main “group”, Jones shows no sign of having ever been
star-struck.
Suggesting a modest love for functionality within his
designs, Jones revealed the compliment he most treasures from “customer”, David
Beckham.
“David Beckham came. He really wanted a suit for Late Night
with Jimmy Fallon.”
“He put one on and was like, ‘This is the most comfortable
thing I’ve ever worn.’ It’s nice to have that sort of reaction from someone who
is a customer, technicall
