Clearing the slate for her debut menswear collection, Givenchy creative director Sarah Burton forgoes a heavily orchestrated runway spectacle. Instead, she opted for a presentation inside Hubert de Givenchy’s hôtel particulier at 3 Avenue George V in Paris, utilizing three rooms filled with mannequins to foster conversations that connect the past with the present, transcending age, exploring established male archetypes while envisioning new ones.

Burton’s Spring/Summer 2027 menswear collection is staged alongside the haunting sculptures of British artist Rachel Whiteread, stripping Givenchy down to essential pieces that evoke a sense of renewal. Foregoing 67 years of Givenchy menswear heritage, Burton draws on her experience. Culminating in a collection that includes sharply tailored suits, evening coats, soft bomber jackets, leather rugby shirts, and a house-archived tulip-patterned tie. She presents a multigenerational universe that addresses the needs of the multifaceted man.

With design focused on the silhouette, nipped waists, strong shoulders, and puffy sneakers spearhead the collection. Burton also reiterates codes from her previous womenswear collections at the house, incorporating cufflinks that resemble earrings and embroidered jackets featuring floral prints from the Fall/Winter 2026 collection. She also reprises a leather tracksuit originally debuted by Timothée Chalamet during his “Marty Supreme” press tour, now offered in a variety of mood-lifting, vibrant hues.

Through her debut menswear collection, Burton emphasizes the importance of designing for men at varying stages of life. Adding playful, subtle details, including a jacket label from the couture atelier, cut lapels, and curved seam trousers. Sarah Burton creates a new Givenchy male archetype, challenging traditional norms and offering an invigorated perspective on masculinity for both men and women to engage in.
