The seemingly unknown, Sarah Burton (formerly Alexander McQueen's go-to-gal and right-hand-woman) will be bestowed with the honour of taking full creative control of the house which was left in jeopardy since McQueen's tragic suicide in February.

Burton had worked alongside McQueen for sixteen years so there is no doubt as to her appointment being the sensible (read: only) option. Burton announced today;

"The creation of modern, beautifully-crafted clothes was at the heart of Lee’s vision. I intend to stay true to his legacy."

Ne'er a truer word spoken.
