British fashion house Alexander McQueen has confirmed that new creative director Seán McGirr will present his first collection during Paris Fashion Week in March.
McGirr was announced as Alexander McQueen’s new chief designer in October 2023, replacing Sarah Burton, who stepped down from the role after 26 years with the house.
The Alexander McQueen fashion show, one of the most anticipated of the season, will take place on March 2 and will feature his first Fall/Winter 2024 womenswear and menswear collections.
Dublin-born Irishman McGirr graduated from Central Saint Martins School of Fashion in London and obtained an MA in Fashion in 2014 under the late Professor Louise Wilson.
Before joining Alexander McQueen, McGirr was head of ready-to-wear at JW Anderson and previously held roles at Dries Van Noten, Uniqlo, Burberry and Vogue Hommes Japan. When McGirr was announced as creative director, Alexander McQueen chief executive Gianfilippo Testa said that with his “experience, personality and creative energy” he would bring a “strong creative language to Alexander McQueen, while building on its unique heritage ».
