Alexander McQueen has announced the departure of creative director Seán McGirr following a three-year tenure. This exit occurs during a period of restructuring for the London-based fashion house, which has involved layoffs and a reduction in its retail network. Kering CEO Luca de Meo stated that the company intends to establish “a bold new direction for the house” to reaffirm its position in the luxury ~~market.~~ market, specifically by focusing on a heritage of tailoring, creativity, and rebellion. While Gianfranco D’Attis, president and CEO of Alexander McQueen, noted that McGirr helped reconnect the brand with London’s creative culture, the company indicated that new creative leadership will be named in the near future. The successor is expected to make their debut in London, where McQueen has committed to holding its runway presentations beginning with the Spring/Summer 2027 collection.
