“We would like to express our deep gratitude to Sarah for writing such an important chapter in the history of Alexander McQueen,” quotes, among others, “The Guardian” Alexander McQueen CEO Gianfilippo Testa. “Sarah’s contributions over the past 26 years will leave an indelible mark.” Burton’s “extraordinary vision and creativity” was also praised.

It has also been confirmed that her Spring/Summer 2024 show on September 30th in Paris will be her last.

“I’m so proud of everything I’ve done and of my incredible team at Alexander McQueen,” said Burton herself on her farewell. “I look forward to the future and my next chapter and will always carry this precious time with me.”
