LIVE PERFORMANCE BY ANNA CALVI

British musician Anna Calvi performed the show’s live soundtrack from a balcony overlooking the runway, accompanied by her band and members of the Heritage Orchestra & Choir. Her set list included her new track “Whip The Night” and is available to purchase on iTunes and can be streamed through the Burberry Apple Connect page on Apple Music.

A FINALE OF UNIQUE CAPES

A collection of 78 limited-edition couture capes was presented as part of the show’s finale. Inspired by the scale and form of Moore’s elemental sculptures, each unisex design was made using unique constructions and referencing elements from the Burberry archive. Each individually named cape is available for special order, and will form part of a travelling exhibition around the world: beginning tomorrow at Makers House.

THE FEBRUARY COLLECTION

Unveiled in full tonight, 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.

“HENRY MOORE: INSPIRATION & PROCESS” AT MAKERS HOUSE

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 outside of Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Hertfordshire. In celebration of Henry Moore, his creativity and contribution to the development of contemporary art in the UK, the exhibition features over 40 of his sculptures, monumental bronzes, working models, drawings and maquettes. Makers House will also host a programme of events, acoustic performances and workshops: including life drawing, maquette and object making, textile printmaking and textile design.
