The appointment arrives just weeks after the Kering-owned company announced plans to part ways with Ms. Burton, who has held the post since 2010.
Previously head of ready-to-wear at U.K. fashion label JW Anderson, Irish designer Seán McGirr is named creative director. Image courtesy of Alexander McQueenAfter announcing the impending departure of its longtime creative director last month, British fashion house Alexander McQueen has named a successor.
“With his experience, personality, and creative energy, he will bring a powerful creative language to Alexander McQueen while building on its unique heritage.”The talent, an outsider of sorts by owner and French luxury conglomerate Kering's standards, is a graduate of Central Saint Martins in London. In 2014, he completed his training and earned a master of arts in fashion.
Mr. McGirr has also served British fashion house Burberry, Belgian fashion house Dries Van Noten and Vogue Hommes Japan over the course of his career.
