Sarah Burton will be the replacement for McQueen

The hole left by his death the genial Alexander McQueen will be difficult to fill, but life goes on and after months of uncertainty has finally revealed the name of what will be his successor as head of the firm Sarah Burton .

At first the rumors aimed at Gareth Pugh and even the naysayers talking about the end of the brand, but will finally be the current head of design and McQueen audante for over twelve years, who will take over as new creative director.

The house is owned McQueen Gucci Group, who seems that despite the loss of its founder, continues to promote it and even expand the business with a new male line.

Replace a genius is never easy and others have failed in the attempt, as happened to Alessandra Facchinetti at the head of Valentino, but it seems that in this case, is it safe bet and that Burton not only takes more than a decade working for McQueen but it was responsible for much of the past and praised collection of the brand.
