Después de tres años de colaboración, Simons llega a esta conclusión por “motivos personales”.

“It is after careful and long consideration that I have decided to leave my position as creative director of Christian Dior’s women’s collection. It is a decision based entirely and equally on my desire to focus on other interests in my life, including my own brand, and the passions that drive me outside my work. Christian Dior is an extraordinary company, and it has been an immense privilege to write a few pages of this magnificent book. I want to thank Mr. Bernard Arnault for the trust he has put in me, giving me the incredible opportunity to work at this beautiful house surrounded by the most amazing team one could ever dream of. I have also had the chance over the last few years to benefit from the leadership of Sidney Toledano. His thoughtful, heartfelt and inspired management will also remain as one of the most important experiences of my professional career.”

Aún no se anuncia su sucesor, y mientras encuentran el nuevo director creativo, el último legado es la colección Primavera-Verano 2016. Después de John Galliano y Vill Gaytten al frente de casa de moda, las apuestas se incrementan para el próximo.
