LVMH-owned Givenchy has named Sarah Burton, a British designer, as creative director, effective immediately. She will debut her first collection in March 2025. According to a business release, Burton will be in charge of the creative direction of all of the Maison’s women’s and men’s collections.
Commenting on her new role at Givenchy, Burton said, “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.”
Burton’s final show for Alexander McQueen was the spring/summer 2024 collection, where she worked for over two decades, including 13 years as creative director.
“Sarah Burton’s unique vision and approach to fashion will be invaluable to this iconic Maison, known for its audacity and haute couture. I am convinced that her creative leadership will contribute to the future success and international standing of the maison,” added Sidney Toledano, chairman of the Givenchy board.
