Sarah Burton, who designed the Princess of Wales’s wedding dress in her former role as creative director of Alexander McQueen, has been appointed to the top job at Givenchy.
The French luxury label’s new creative director, who will be responsible for the women’s and men’s collections with immediate effect, said: “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.”
