The Givenchy Fall Winter 2025 Womenswear Show marked a pivotal moment for the storied French house, as it was the highly anticipated debut of Sarah Burton as Artistic Director. Burton, renowned for her transformative work at Alexander McQueen, brought a fresh yet reverent perspective to Givenchy, blending the brand’s heritage with her own signature craftsmanship and sensitivity.
Burton’s creative journey began with a remarkable discovery: a cache of Hubert de Givenchy’s original 1952 patterns, found hidden in a cupboard during renovations of his first maison. These brown paper packets, containing calico patterns from GiShe described this as a “tangible connection” to the house’s origins and a call to return to the atelier—the heart and soul of Givenchy. Givenchy’s debut collection became the emotional and conceptual foundation for Burton’s first show.
