Sarah Burton Unveils Her Most Expressive Givenchy Yet at Paris Fashion Week

The fall lineup channels personal reconstruction through rich materials within a theatrical presentation.

Overview

  • Now in her third season at Givenchy, Burton presented a women‑centric collection in Paris that critics called her most expressive to date.
  • She described the work as personal, focused on how to put oneself back together in a fractured world.
  • The lineup spanned menswear tailoring, velvet, animal prints, kimono silks, lace, silver bullion and wild furry textures across day and evening.
  • The show was staged in a dark space evoking a giant zoetrope, with models revealed on a winding runway wearing Stephen Jones headwraps fashioned from twisted T‑shirts.
  • Burton revived the jeweled top popularized by Jenna Ortega, noting there were orders for it, as reviews praised the balance of trend notes with timeless precision and cited personal talismans like a 2024 kimono and a McQueen‑era jacquard.
