Givenchy F/W 2025.26 Paris

BTW, lets keep the thread on topic ...

I like it. I think she shows a lot of promise. I would rather see a safe debut collection with sharp tailoring, and construction instead of a jumbled mess. I think it's appropriate for her to gradually inject her aesthetic into this archival house, as opposed to coming in like a wrecking ball. I think she will step it up next season, once she know's what people are looking for from this brand. Next season, we can be more critical. I will wait until then to form a concrete opinion.

Feels dated

I'm not a Burton fan, but in all fairness... remember where this brand was a year and a half ago.

This collection was disjointed for me. While I want Sarah to win, in this space and with this assortment (because it very much so was that) it lacked harmony and clear vision. A fall collection should've been an easy sell, but maybe I am too ambitious for the time she had to create something with better flow.

A strong collection of classics, referenced from the archives and some Tisci-era elements could've been effective.
The body suits, we did and do not need. Past and present tense. Nice try, but leave that to Alaïa.

ofcourse cate blanchett chooses my favorite look for a premier

I've never understood the utter contempt and waves of bile Sarah Burton can inspire in some people. Yes, I can understand why she's not everyone's cup of tea or why they do not feel like she was an adequate successor to Lee McQueen, but it's not like she's flagrantly terrible. She clearly knows how to design and is more than competent. Whether she's entirely successful in creating something that's to one's taste is a different question. What she's not is a fashion hack.

I liked a lot of the collection. I wasn't crazy about some of it, especially the fishnet and mermaid tails. And logo/wordmark items are just going to be a given because this is LVMH, and that's their pain et beurre. But her collection definitely elevates Givenchy from what it had been in recent years, which was something not particularly worthy of its storied heritage: Since it opened around two years ago, the Rodeo Drive Givenchy boutique has primarily been stocked with pink-and-silver activewear, molded plastic slides that cost around $300, tiny metallic dresses for whatever rap star's cocaine party is happening in the Hollywood Hills, and menswear targeted to the local population of Russian oligarchs' scions. The FW25 collection is a welcome change from the Baby Phat-sur-Avenue Montaigne crap. So maybe just... give her a break.

Cate looks good even though I am not fond of this debut.

Kate looks bomb.

There’s something very erotic and sexual and she is covered from head to toe.

She needs a whip and I’d gladly bend over for her

I actually like this collection even more than at first. I think most people's criticisms of her are rooted in the comparisons with Lee. Which WAS 'fair enough' when she was at McQueen, but now the comparison is basically irrelevant. I don't need sToRyTeLliNg to appreciate a collection. That was Lee's strength and we loved him for it. That's clearly not Sarah's strength, but it doesn't matter when her strength for tailoring and precision ARE on full display in this collection.

I'm also BAFFLED by posters who think that "good tailoring" is some kind of 'participation award' compliment. I don't think some people understand what a pillar tailoring is for fashion.

I was looking through Louise Trotter's collections for Carven and it made me wonder why she was never hired by LVMH for a CD position, she definitely has the ambition and I think she'd have been perfect for Givenchy.
Miles better than this irrelevant nonsense at least.

i liked some of her carven but she has no voice. She's just fine at bottega, where she can continue what blazy did. Their works blur with each other and with many more designers. Would have been even more suited for something like COS or ZARA, those brands don't need a voice and just need to be able to mimic whats going on around them. And for bottega, they needed someone with a more luxurious taste. I hate the gen z bottega, its supposed to be competing with hermes or dior not loewe.
