Sarah Burton, OBE

creative director alexander mcqueen

Sarah Burton is the current creative director of Alexander McQueen. She is perhaps most well-known for landing one of the most coveted fashion commissions when in April 2011 she designed Catherine Middleton’s wedding dress for her wedding to Prince William. Burton’s fashion career began when her tutor suggested that she apply for a placement with McQueen. In 1996, Burton joined McQueen as an intern and in 2000 she was appointed head of womenswear. Until McQueen’s death in 2010, Burton was his aide. She then took over the role of creative director. Burton has designed pieces for Lady Gaga, Michelle Obama and Gwyneth Paltrow, and in November 2011 she won Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards.
