François-Henri Pinault, chairman and CEO of McQueen's parent company, Kering, reiterated the sentiment, assuring fans that the brand is one that remains front-of-mind as Burton moves on and the label enters a new era. "Alexander McQueen is a House we are passionate about, and we are confident that Seán McGirr will be able to pursue its journey with a new creative impetus," Pinault added. "We look forward to opening this new chapter in the history of this unique brand."McGirr is a graduate of London's venerable Central Saint Martins, where he earned a Master of Arts in Fashion in 2014.
Sarah Burton joined Alexander McQueen full-time in 1997 and most notably designed Kate Middleton's wedding gown. Following Lee McQueen's death in Feb. 2010, she took on the role of creative director and it was announced earlier this year that the Spring Summer 2024 collection would be her last.
