August 25, 2025
Givenchy has launched its first campaign with creative director Sarah Burton. Photographed by Collier Schorr, the campaign brings together a group of creative personalities to celebrate multi-generational womanhood.
“The beauty of all women inspires me – including my team,” said Sarah Burton about the campaign in a press release. “I wanted to capture the brilliant women I work with amongst the cast – real moments with everyone working together.”
Burton’s long-term stylist Camilla Nickerson and makeup artist Lucia Pieroni both worked on and feature in the new Givenchy campaign, which captures candid moments, conversations, and unposed gestures. The photographer herself also stars in the campaign, brought to life with creative direction by Ferdinando Verderi, hair by Olivier Schawalder, nails by Ama Quashie, and casting by Jess Hallett.

Talent personalities Adut Akech, Vittoria Ceretti, Nyaduola Gabriel, Kaia Gerber, Eva Herzigova, Emeline Hoareau, and Liu Wen appear playful and relaxed in Givenchy’s dramatic tailoring and mixture of masculine and feminine design elements. Campaign looks range from a sharp suit to layered leather outerwear and a translucent evening dress, presenting a future-facing take on the French label’s archive.

British designer Sarah Burton presented her first collection for Givenchy in March 2025, according to the brand’s website. Burton graduated from London’s Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in 1997 then rose up the ranks of Alexander McQueen, stepping into the role of creative director at the label in 2010. Burton was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to the British Fashion industry in 2012 and left Alexander McQueen in October 2023.

Published
January 15, 2026
New York-based womenswear brand Derek Lam is set to return to the New York Fashion Week calendar this February, debuting the first collection under newly appointed creative director Robert Rodriguez.
The return to NYFW signals the relaunch of the Derek Lam mainline collection following the departure of founder Derek Lam in 2023. Rodriguez, a CFDA member, steps into the creative director role overseeing design direction, product development, and brand image.
Under Rodriguez’s leadership, the Derek Lam Collection will focus on elevated essentials defined by relaxed precision and modern refinement. While maintaining the brand’s signature minimal sophistication, the new direction introduces added warmth, texture, and sensuality.
“We’re working to elevate design and innovation across categories and accelerate brand recognition and consumer engagement,” explained Danielle Alalu, brand president of Derek Lam
“As the marketplace has evolved, we see an opportunity to bring back what was originally a designer collection in a more accessible way. Robert’s obsession with fit, quality, and design is exactly what Derek Lam needs to create a fresh point of view in the advanced contemporary space.”
The relaunched Derek Lam Collection will be positioned within the advanced contemporary market, with pricing ranging from $295 to $1,295. The brand will initially be reintroduced through brand-owned direct-to-consumer channels, with exclusive partnerships with global retailers to be announced later this year. Derek Lam 10 Crosby will continue to operate as a separate contemporary line.
“Robert brings a rare balance of creativity and commercial instinct. Alongside Danielle’s strategic leadership, we now have a unified team ready to propel Derek Lam into its next chapter- building a modern American brand with global reach and enduring relevance,” added Dan Shamdasani, CEO of Public Clothing.
