Anyone who follows Kim Jones on Instagram (@mrkimjones) will know that the creative director of Dior Homme, who is widely considered the leading menswear designer on earth, basically posts on two subjects: Dior – designing collections, collaborating with artists, winning multiple awards while his best mates David Beckham, Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell wear the clothes; and obscure animals – be these humpback whales (he recently swam with them in Tahiti) or pangolin (spotted on a trip to Namibia).

Jones grew up in the Amazon, Ecuador and Botswana with his father, who was a hydrogeologist. While entirely comfortable in the fashionable world of Paris, he is equally adept at being off-grid.
