Sarah Burton, The Gifted Heiress of Alexander McQueen
Years of Training Born in Macclesfield (in eastern Cheshire County), it's safe to say that the fashion designer has come a long way: in 2005, her hometown was voted the least cultivated in the UK. Years of study at the Withington School in Manchester, at Manchester Metropolitan University, then at Central Saint Martins College in London earned him a solid education. Sarah Burton owes her career to Simon Ungless, alongside Alexander McQueen for his first ten collections. He introduced her to the designer. The current director of the School of Fashion in San Francisco has, it seems, forged a vocation: for him, the future of fashion passes, first and foremost, by the “redefinition of tradition.”
