Seán McGirr named new creative director at Alexander McQueen

Seán McGirr, previously head of ready-to-wear at JW Anderson, has been named the new creative director at Alexander McQueen.
McGirr succeeds Sarah Burton, who recently presented her farewell collection after over 25 years with the brand.
The appointment of McGirr is part of a broader restructuring strategy by Kering, Alexander McQueen's parent company.
Industry experts see the choice of McGirr, while unexpected, as an opportunity to bring fresh creative perspective.
All eyes will be on McGirr's debut collection, likely during January's menswear shows, to set the tone for Alexander McQueen's new era.
