Detailed DRAMA

Sarah Burton orchestrates a balance of precision and spectacle in her first collection as Givenchy's artistic director.

- NURUL FIRDOUSEE

For Sarah Burton, it’s all in the 360. The new Givenchy creative director's magic lies in her precision when it comes to the details, where every stitch and embellishment is carefully considered. From the subtle curve of a sleeve to the exact placement of a decorative accent, Burton's work rewards attention from every angle, revealing layers of artistry as the garments move. Prominent shoulders, high-low hems and voluminous sleeves create a sense of depth and theatrical drama. The effect is immersive: with the ensembles revealing new nuances as the models move—a 360 experience indeed.
