LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE said March 26 that it appointed Virgil Abloh as the new men's artistic director for its Louis Vuitton line, effective immediately.

Kim Jones, the French luxury goods company's former artistic director for men, was reported to be stepping down from the post in January.

Abloh's first show for the flagship brand will be in June, during Men's Fashion Week in Paris.
