During Fashion Week here in New York City, Givenchy *finally* announced its appointment of its new creative director: Sarah Burton!

Effective immediately, the famed designer who previously was the Creative Director of Alexander McQueen following Lee McQueen’s passing back in 2010, will now oversee all of the house’s women’s and men’s collections, with her first show set to take place in March of 2025.

“It is a great honour to be joining the beautiful house of Givenchy, it is a jewel. 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.”

“Sarah Burton is an exceptional creative talent whose work I have passionately followed for many years; I am very glad that she is joining Givenchy today. Her 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.”

Sidney Toledano, Chairman (Givenchy Board)

“The arrival of Sarah Burton as head of our creative design is a very exciting moment for Givenchy. Her remarkable career path and creative vision have already won her a vast fan base, and we are certain that under her direction, Givenchy will continue to innovate and captivate an extensive audience across the world stage. I eagerly anticipate the new creative energy Sarah will bring as she works alongside our outstanding teams in our exceptional workshops, and we embark on this new chapter in the history of Givenchy.”
