Sarah Burton, a close friend of the late Alexander McQueen has been confirmed as the new head designer for the Alexander McQueen brand. This segment of the Gucci Group (also enveloping fashion houses such as Yves Saint Laurent, Bottega and Veneta) has employed Burton as head of women’s wear for Alexander McQueen since purchasing majority shares in 2000. Deciding to pull up an in-house designer will hopefully maintain the identity McQueen created.
