As a fashion enthusiast with a penchant for royal weddings and iconic designs, I couldn’t be more thrilled about Sarah Burton taking over as the Creative Director for Givenchy! Her remarkable career, spanning 26 years at Alexander McQueen and culminating in the design of Princess Catherine’s wedding dress, has earned her a place in fashion history.


Starting September 9th, renowned fashion designer Sarah Burton takes on the role of Creative Director at Givenchy, following a 26-year tenure with Alexander McQueen (this change was announced one year after Burton’s departure from McQueen). The official announcement was made during New York Fashion Week, and it is planned that her debut show for Givenchy will happen in March 2025.

Burton is a designer who is widely recognized by royal fashion enthusiasts, particularly for designing Princess Catherine’s wedding gown and reception dress. Notably, she took over the position previously held by Claire Waight Keller, who designed Meghan Markle’s wedding dress when she married Prince Harry. Interestingly, Claire stepped away from this role more than three years ago and now serves as the Creative Director for Uniqlo, a Japanese fashion brand.

Without a doubt, it can’t be argued that Sarah Burton possesses some truly timeless and iconic design pieces, especially when it comes to the royal family. Her designs for Princess Catherine on her wedding to Prince William are undeniably among those that have endured the passage of time.

Indeed, Sarah Burton’s design portfolio extends beyond just the Princess of Wales; she has previously created garments for BeyoncĂ© and, notably, the maid of honor dress that Pippa Middleton wore at her sister’s wedding.

It’s quite appropriate that Givenchy, a renowned brand steeped in its own rich legacy, would choose a new Creative Director who also boasts an illustrious career in the realm of fashion.

As stated by V Magazine, Burton expressed her views about this fresh project and what she intends to contribute to it.

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.

Besides Sarah Burton, the CEO of Givenchy, Alessandro Valenti, also voiced his opinions about this appointment. In his statement, he expressed optimism about the future with Burton taking up this new position.

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.

We can’t wait to see what comes next for Givenchy, as well as Sarah Burton.
