Sarah Burton breathes new audacity into Givenchy
For her first collection as Artistic Director, Sarah Burton reinterprets the Givenchy heritage with modernity and power.
Givenchy‘s Autumn-Winter 2025-26 show, designed by Sarah Burton, marked a bold turning point for the house. Drawing inspiration from historic patterns recovered during the renovation of the house at 8 Avenue Alfred de Vigny, the designer fused tradition and the avant-garde, highlighting a femininity both assertive and delicate.
A couture tribute revisited
Sarah Burton returns to the DNA of Hubert de Givenchy, with impeccable tailoring and artisanal craftsmanship. Marked waists, structured suits and halter dresses reflect this quest for balance between strength and vulnerability. There’s also a contemporary fluidity, with knotted skirts and revisited trench coats that subtly blur the boundaries between masculine and feminine.
Details that capture the moment
Each piece in the collection plays on unpredictable textures and shapes that seem to redefine themselves in motion. Tulle mules and jeweled bags complete this bold, elegant silhouette, embodying a renewed vision of luxury.
Sarah Burton, assumed femininity
With this collection, Sarah Burton not only honors the Givenchy heritage, she redesigns it for a modern, powerful woman. Minimalism and sophistication coexist in an emotional and sensual approach to couture.
