Sarah Burton's best looks

With NYFW in full swing, the fashion news has taken centre stage, but one event that has rocked the fashion world more than any other. As confirmed in a recent report by the Associated Press, Alexander McQueen's creative director Sarah Burton will leave the fashion label after two decades. Sarah has been the creative director of Alexander McQueen for over two decades and has designed stunning outfits for very important personalities such as Kate Middleton, Florence Pugh, Beyonce, and more. Every garment was a piece of art in itself; meticulously designed with fine craftsmanship. Sarah was even awarded an Order of the British Empire for her services to the fashion industry in 2012. Let's go down memory lane to celebrate Sarah Burton's best looks for Alexander McQueen.
