    On the Podcast: Givenchy’s Sarah Burton Is Charting a New Path on Her Own Terms

    Sarah Burton is one of the fashion industry’s most beloved figures and one of the few women creative directors at the helm of a legacy maison. When she was named to the top job at Givenchy, almost a year to the day after she had announced she was stepping down from her post at Alexander McQueen, where she had spent two decades, the excitement was palpable. Her debut collection for the French label, in March of this year, was a resounding success—the proof? Anne Hathaway wears it exclusively in her August Vogue cover story.

    Of seeing her designs in print, on this week’s episode of the Run-Through, Burton tells Nicole Phelps, “what I love is that you see things in a different light altogether somehow. You design them in one way and what’s really amazing is when they’re taken and portrayed in a completely different way, it sort of inspires you to do something new next time.”

    After 10 months at the house, Burton discusses how she’s building a new legacy for Givenchy. “[It’s] sort of an anatomical way [of] thinking, ok, to build a house, you have to build a backbone—the spine, or the foundation; and to me it’s always been about a silhouette,” she says. “I really wanted to take all of the surface decoration away and work on a sort of modern silhouette for women today: the tailoring with a slightly dropped shoulder, the nipped-in waist. I thought if I can start with a foundation then it can grow from there.”

    Listen to the episode below and you’ll learn about why coming to Givenchy felt like a bit of a “homecoming” for Burton. You won’t want to miss her story about the “ghost in the walls” of the atelier, either.
