Sarah Burton, who just dressed Elle Fanning and Timothée Chalamet for the Oscars, is bringing her expertise and empathy to her first collection for Givenchy.

The new creative director's debut fall 2025 collection was an emotional event for even the most jaded fashion followers.

You didn't need a seat at Sarah Burton's Givenchy debut to see it first-thing on Friday morning. The hallowed halls of 3 Avenue George V, Givenchy's Paris address since 1955, quickly made the rounds on social media as the March 7 runway unfolded.

Givenchy's new creative director debuted on Friday in one of Paris Fashion Week’s most anticipated moments and a long-awaited reset for a house that, in recent years, has struggled to find its footing.

The excitement was palpable on Friday morning, as press, buyers, executives and friends of Givenchy filed into the brand’s headquarters for the hottest ticket during this season’s Paris Fashion Week: Sarah Burton’s highly anticipated debut.

Sarah Burton is legendary for her work leading Alexander McQueen after the latter's death. On March 7, she showed her first collection for Givenchy.

Top models Alex Consani and Eva Herzigová, along with Gwendoline Christie, Kit Connor, and Ryan Destiny turned out to celebrate Burton’s arrival.
