Sarah Burton, renowned for designing Kate Middleton's wedding dress, has been appointed as the new creative director of Givenchy, part of the LVMH luxury group. This follows her departure from Alexander McQueen last year, where she served as creative director for over a decade. Burton described Givenchy as a 'jewel' and expressed excitement about bringing her vision to the iconic fashion house, which is known for haute couture and luxury goods. Her predecessor, Matthew Williams, left the position in January, leading to speculation about Burton's future in fashion. Givenchy's first collection under her direction is set to debut in March 2024, amid challenges in the luxury market due to economic downturns. Burton's appointment is seen as a significant shift for the brand, promising a blend of classic elegance and contemporary style.
