"Fashion loves a full circle moment, and with Sarah Burton's arrival at Givenchy, one closes with inevitability. For more than two decades - over half her life - Burton devoted her work to Alexander McQueen, the house that shaped her hand and honed her heart. McQueen himself, of course, once held the keys to Givenchy's ateliers in the 1990s, a brilliant tenure that burned bright and fast."
"Burton's vision for the French house is an excavation, rebuilding from the inside out, its foundations measured in muslin and memory. "It's my natural instinct to go back to pattern-cutting, to craftsmanship," she told Alexander Fury before her . "It's what I feel, how I work, and want to do." That instinct to work, and to feel, is the pulse of the new era."
"The Spring 2026 campaign, , turns that ethos into image. "My friends are often my muses, and my muses often become friends," Burton says. "The second in our Portrait Series celebrates this creative relationship with both Rooney Mara and Paul Simonon." Friends and Muses: The Portrait Series IICollier Schorr provides her lens for the series, capturing portraits of actor and AnOther Magazine cover star Rooney Mara and the Clash bassist turned painter Paul Simonon."
Sarah Burton assumes the creative reins at Givenchy, returning to the house's Parisian ateliers on Avenue George V where Alexander McQueen once worked. Burton centers her approach on pattern-cutting, craftsmanship, and rebuilding the house from its foundational techniques and memories. The Spring 2026 campaign crystallizes this ethos through portraiture that privileges intimacy and raw presence. Collier Schorr photographed Rooney Mara and Paul Simonon, presenting minimalist, unembellished portraits that emphasize emotional intelligence and raw artistry. Burton describes friends as muses and highlights collaborative creative relationships. The campaign positions Givenchy's next chapter as a fusion of heritage, technical rigor, and personal artistic alliances.
