Sarah Burton's debut at Givenchy marked a return to craftsmanship, as she celebrated traditional pattern-cutting techniques. Her collection, unveiled in the historic Givenchy headquarters, emphasized a deep respect for the brand's heritage and the atelier's role as its heartbeat. Reflecting on the importance of historical context in fashion, Burton stated that moving forward requires revisiting foundational elements, a philosophy she embraced through her creative process and the debut collection's design ethos.
"It's my natural instinct to go back to pattern-cutting, to craftsmanship. It's what I feel, how I work, and want to do."
"To go forward, you have to go back to the beginning. To me, that's about the atelier. It's the heart and soul of Givenchy."
