Alexander McQueen has announced that Sarah Burton will be stepping down from her position after more than two decades at the brand\u2014thirteen of which she served as creative director.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued by Kering<\/a>, the label\u2019s parent company, shared the news that the upcoming Spring 2024 show, set to debut at Paris Fashion Week<\/a> on September 30, will be Burton\u2019s last collection with the brand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would like to express our immense gratitude to Sarah for writing such an important chapter in the history of the Alexander McQueen<\/a> House,\u201d wrote Gianfilippo Testa, Alexander McQueen\u2019s chief executive. \u201cSarah\u2019s contribution over the past 26 years will leave an indelible mark.\u201d<\/p>\n

While no successor has been immediately scouted, the company assured one would be announced \u201cin due course\u201d.<\/p>\n

The British-born designer first joined Alexander McQueen in 1996 while on a placement during her course at the prestigious Central Saint Martins College<\/a>. After graduating, she returned to work for the brand, becoming one of the founder\u2019s closest collaborators, and was named head of womenswear design just two years later.<\/p>\n

Following the tragic passing of the brand\u2019s founder, Lee Alexander McQueen, in 2010, Burton was named as his successor and carried on with his pioneering legacy.<\/p>\n

One of her most notable career highlights came a year later when Burton was tapped to design Kate Middleton\u2019s wedding dress<\/a> for her nuptials to Prince William<\/a>. The long-sleeve lace gown<\/a> became an instant classic and continues to inspire brides. In 2012, Burton reached another milestone\u2014being awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to the British fashion industry.<\/p>\n
