Burberry Fall 2017 Collection Inspired by Henry Moore Sculptures

Burberry presented its Fall 2017 collection during London Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from the sculptures of Henry Moore. The show took place on February 27 at Makers House in Soho, combining a runway with an exhibition titled "Henry Moore: Inspiration & Process," featuring Moore's sculptures, sketches, and maquettes. The collection comprised 78 handcrafted capes, each referencing Moore's modernist forms through intricate details such as inlays, pleats, ruffles, Victorian collars, feathers, pearls, lace, and asymmetric cuts. The collaboration between Burberry and the Henry Moore Foundation celebrated British identity, linking Moore's birthplace of Castleford, Yorkshire, to Burberry's trench coat factory in the same town. Moore, born in 1898, is known for his pure, soft forms and voids that explore the human figure. After London, the exhibition will travel to Paris, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. The exclusive Burberry pieces are available for purchase on the brand's website.
