McQ’s New Creative Director

Luxury label Alexander McQueen promoted Sarah Burton to the roll of creative director last month to replace Lee Alexander McQueen following his death in February. Ferlisi will work under the direction of Burton on McQ.

Ferlisi has previously been creative director at Generra and has designed for Coach, Gap, and Marc by Marc Jacobs.

The McQ diffusion line was launched in 2006 and references all of the anarchic, rebellious traits of McQueen’s mainline collections but with a more youth orientated, urban feel.
