JFC Sarah PUT THE BODYSUITS DOWN! Enough! Enough with the bras and the transparencies! Enough with the bodysuits with blinged out webs over them! We've had it!

 

[FashionPower]

Omg what a flop.
Not the third to last model literally wearing a bed sheet covered in feathers and holding it with her hands...
And people in here loathed MW's tenure, at least he had a vision LOL

 

[LadyJunon]

I fell asleep twice during the show.

 

[Creative]

Looool I knew it was gonna be a flop from min 1. She’s not a CD but a tailor.

 

[tourbillions]

lets get back to the flou and embroidery pls

Hope the last 2 looks are the "whats to come segment"

 

[chiccestlavie]

Carolina Herrera showed in Paris too? 😭

 

[GreyVetiver]

This was safe to the point of dull. It felt like racks of merchandise, no spark, no romance, nothing daring from someone with such a big archive to pull from. Honestly I just wished there was a 2x speed button. She’s still an incredible tailor, but this show didn’t prove it.

Looool I knew it was gonna be a flop from min 1. She’s not a CD but a tailor.

yes, all the black or white blazers and the trousers are breathtaking, they have no POV but damn they are so good-looking. The white suit on Binx is the best of the fashion month so far.
The rest is indead a flop she should be ashamed of.

 

[Olaffo]

I don’t know what happened to her but this is dull, uninspiring and quite frankly disastrous show. I know HC not going to happen, cruise / pre fall not going to happens menswear not going to happen so what else she’s got to do ? She is having all time on earth and yet she is showing this f*cking parade of vulgar merch. She is not even trying to do proper tailoring which shohld be the very bare minimum. Just go home, Sarah.

 

[Kennnnn]

Started off strong, with some quite lovely pieces. And then it got so dull, boring and repetitive. I don't think she needed to send out three fairly straightforward pantsuits. The evening wear was stiff and overwrought, and the outer wear looked so, so heavy. Disappointing.

 

[perhydrol]

It's too safe and not adventurous enough to make Givenchy relevant again. The evolution between her debut and this show is also not impactful enough to make a difference. There are some very beautiful pieces, especially the closing ones and the tailoring, but the lack of excitement around the brand is depressing. It's also Burton's fault, because this creative direction feels too quiet. I don't know, I was rooting for her, but maybe she's just, metaphorically speaking, allergic to slay and we won't get any striking moment from her...

 

[ecnerretneerg]

First off, wtf was Alex Consani wearing? Second, can we stop with these impractical heels with fringes and other weird crap billowing off them? A lot of people (myself included) recognized the need for more female CDs, but why does it matter if they’re gonna deliver this junk…

 

[Lola701]

If it wasn’t for the great casting, I would have advised her to work with MAS too.
Why is she insisting in doing flou?
This is a show who needed 1 shoe style, 1 bag.
The dynamism of the show started with the looks with heels.
I liked most of the tailoring! The amazing trench coat should have been the closing look, not the look on Kaia.

If she wants to reference archives. She should stick to Galliano, McQueen and Riccardo. She won’t take anything out of Hubert, precisely if she focus on the 50’s/60’s.

 

[fashionlov]

After a less-than-convincing debut, Sarah Burton’s tenure at Givenchy confirms my initial impression. The jumpsuits are questionable, the jewelry — especially the pieces echoing the top from Look 47 of the FW25 collection — feels overwhelming and intrusive. It's far removed not only from what she created at McQueen, but also from what she could have done by drawing from the maison’s exquisitely refined archives. Givenchy, especially in its early years, never lost sight of discreet, glamorous elegance.
A few tailored pieces stand out for their craftsmanship, but they could have been made for any brand.
I must admit I miss Clare Waight Keller’s direction, particularly the FW20 collection — sophisticated and chic, it interpreted the language of the maison with grace and without strain.

 

[Avonlea]

Her late McQueen collections would make better Givenchy than whatever this is. It's all either awkward or nondescript. You can still feel the stench of Alaia by Mulier The shoes were awful.
As others have said, she is not a CD. She should be an assistant or a studio director. Wish her well, but this a flop.

 

[GivenchyAddict]

For me, she tiptoes into what her Givenchy will be and how to make it strong, coherent, and a commercial success—three elements that were lacking since Riccardo left and her predecessors failed at miserably.

I love that she stripped away any useless logos from her first collection and focused mostly on what she does best. The tailoring is absolutely impeccable.

The shoes, for the most part, added a fun, feminine, and sexy touch. She should have ditched those bras—they do nothing except ruining the looks.

She tried with the bags, but she should have passed on that; they were irrelevant. And I believe that when you go for something quite safe and commercially driven, you should nail the set and the music—but she’s never been known for excelling at those.

Overall, I still think it’s good. It’s the best we’ve had since Riccardo, and she needs, just like Haider, to go all in and take us somewhere we wouldn’t expect. Maybe Camilla Nickerson is not the right person to help her. Comfort zone can be your enemy.

 

[tricotineacetat]

I thought this was a straight forward, beautiful, commercial collection - easy to dissect into sellable, flattering looks that can work for a variety of women. There’s shapes are a lot easier than in her debut show, which was my main point of criticism.

While this collection is hardly a surprise in the history of Sarah Burton’s work, it’s nice to see that she delivers continuously solid and refined clothes.

 

[brandon J pierre]

I like it, it's bare but good, the morning after sex. Lots of great things to buy great tailoring, love the red coat.I like the shoes, but she needed a couple of punches, she scared. She's really good at evening gowns, Why won't she do them. i haven't seen any great evening were this whole season.

 

[Norden]

Those black suits are beautifully tailored. Not since Rafs Dior have I seen such nice suits on the runway. But those suits don’t make up for this mediocre collection that has no direction, theme, story or anything really. It’s empty gestures with a non existent color palette. It feels entirely unelevated.
