Sarah Burton, who took over the Givenchy fashion house in September 2024, has won the prestigious WWD Honors award in the “Female Designer of the Year” category.
Since her appointment, Burton has ushered in a new era for the brand, skillfully combining modernity with respect for heritage. She reinterprets Givenchy’s codes, drawing inspiration from the archives of legendary predecessors — Hubert de Givenchy, John Galliano, and Alexander McQueen.
Sarah Burton’s debut collection, “Fall-Winter 2025,” has become one of the brightest of the season: clear architectural lines, graphic silhouettes, sculptural coats, and a minimalist vision of femininity have shaped a new direction for the brand. The following collection only consolidated it, adding more lightness, frankness, and movement to the images.
