The menswear designer plans to put his label on hold after his fall 2012 collection ships, WWD reports. In a statement, Kimmel said he will “use this time to enrich my vision, spend time with my family, and explore a number of creative arenas that have interested me while I’m still young.” We’d rather be kicking it with Leelee Sobieski, too.
