Christopher Bailey of Burberry says Moore inspired a collection to ‘sculpt the body’ at show which doubled up as opening for Moore exhibition
To the left of Henry Moore’s monumental bronze sculpture Mother and Child was Penelope Cruz; to the right was Tinie Tempah. Anna Wintour was seated across the runway from Draped Reclining Mother and Baby. Welcome to the new age of highbrow ambition at London fashion week.
“In the human figure one can express more completely one’s feelings about the world than in any other way.” Moore was talking about sculpture, but Christopher Bailey of Burberry talks in similar terms about fashion.
