Sarah Burton’s Second Givenchy Collection Centers Powerful Femininity at Paris Fashion Week

Critics cast the erotic, finely cut SS26 lineup as proof of Givenchy’s push back to red‑carpet glamour.

Overview

  • Burton unveiled her Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear in Paris, presenting a female-coded vision of power rooted in sensuality rather than masculine tailoring.
  • Sheer fabrics, bra tops, slit skirts and stand-away necklines introduced a sexual charge that was tempered by precise cutting, elongated collars and lighter jacket construction.
  • Reviews noted continuity from her debut through softened hourglass lines and reinterpreted knit mesh and tulle treatments that kept the clothes composed and dignified.
  • A supermodel cast including Naomi Campbell, Kaia Gerber, Vittoria Ceretti, Mariacarla Boscono, Eva Herzigová, Liu Wen, Alex Consani and Mona Tougaard walked before a front row featuring Jenna Ortega, Cynthia Erivo, Charlize Theron and Gwendoline Christie.
  • Givenchy’s couture program has not yet been shown, with industry reporting that Burton is still building her teams.
