Sarah Burton Is Givenchy’s New Creative Director
Today, the house of Givenchy announced its new creative director, and she’s a familiar name: British designer Sarah Burton, who served as the creative director of Alexander McQueen from 2010 to 2023. A mentee of Lee Alexander McQueen himself, she designed Kate Middleton’s wedding dress in 2011 and received an OBE in 20212.
Burton will be overseeing the men’s and women’s collections at the house, which was founded in 1952 by Hubert de Givenchy. Her first collection will walk as part of Paris Fashion Week in March 2025.
“It is a great honor to be joining the beautiful house of Givenchy, it is a jewel,” Burton said in a statement. “I am so excited to be able to write the next chapter in the story of this iconic house and to bring to Givenchy my own vision, sensibility, and beliefs.”
Sidney Toledano, the chairman of Givenchy’s board, called her “an exceptional creative talent whose work I have passionately followed for many years,” adding, “Her unique vision and approach to fashion will be invaluable to this iconic Maison, known for its audacity and haute couture.”
