AN ARTIST ON DISPLAY

Burberry premiered its February 2017 collection for men and women at its Makers House show venue in London

The February collection is inspired by the work and personal style of Henry Moore, exploring sculpture and silhouette, material and process, strengthening proportions and hard-wearing fabrics. The artist’s influence is articulated through form, texture and crafted detail, as well as vivid prints referencing his designs from the archive at the Henry Moore Foundation. The show also introduced mid-calf boots with an angular cut-out heel for women, and leather brogues with an asymmetric closure for men: both playing on Moore’s abstract sculpture.

All menswear and womenswear looks shown this evening were made
available to buy via Burberry’s physical, digital and partner retail networks
immediately following the show, as part of the brand’s second straight-to-consumer
collection.

 

Created in collaboration with the Henry Moore Foundation, Makers House will be open to visitors for a week with an exhibition, providing a rare opportunity to explore Moore’s working methods and the evolution of his iconic sculptural ideas.
