In a satin opera coat and spike-heeled boots, Gwendoline Christie joined Raye, Kit Connor and Law Roach on the front row at Sarah Burton’s Givenchy debut show.

Givenchy’s new creative director has debuted in one of Paris Fashion Week’s most anticipated moments and a long-awaited reset for a house that, in recent years, has struggled to find its footing.

Sarah Burton’s debut at Givenchy began not with a sketch but with a discovery. During the renovation of Hubert de Givenchy’s first maison in Paris, a hidden cupboard was uncovered, revealing a forgotten piece of the brand’s history.

Top models Alex Consani and Eva Herzigová, along with Gwendoline Christie, Kit Connor, and Ryan Destiny turned out to celebrate Burton’s arrival.

For her first collection as creative director, the British designer went right back to the essence of the French couture house: the silhouettes of the clothes and the woman who wears them

You didn't need a seat at Sarah Burton's Givenchy debut to see it first-thing on Friday morning. The hallowed halls of 3 Avenue George V, Givenchy's Paris address since 1955, quickly made the rounds on social media as the March 7 runway unfolded.
