“My friends are often my muses, and my muses often become friends.The second in our Portrait Series celebrates this creative relationship with both Rooney Mara and Paul Simonon”.Sarah Burton
Sarah Burton’s Spring 2026 campaign for Givenchy feels less like a traditional fashion statement and more a deliberate move toward clarity and emotional truth. Shot by Collier Schorr, the portraits strip away distraction and return the house to something elemental: the meeting of character, cut, and chemistry. The campaign reflects Burton’s instinct for surrounding herself with collaborators who feel authentic to her world.
Rooney Mara and Paul Simonon don’t perform for the camera. They inhabit it. Their presence is steady, unforced, almost disarming. What Burton captures here is a sense of emotional architecture — garments that hold memory, portraits that hold breath. Givenchy becomes a space where the elegance is not shouted but drawn out slowly, like a confession or a familiar song resurfacing.
