Art and fashion are merging again with an ambitious collaboration between British giants: sculptor Henry Moore and Burberry. The pairing is yet another celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Henry Moore Foundation. 

"The show, running from February 21 to 27, will take place in Burberry’s Makers House space, right in the heart of London’s Soho. Admission is free for the exhibit gathering 40 works by Moore, including sculptures, working models, and drawings."

“I have been fascinated by the great British sculptor Henry Moore for as long as I can remember—his work has always had a powerful influence on me. Looking at, and thinking about, his work set up a series of conversations as we began working on our latest collection,” Christopher Bailey, Burberry chief creative and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

“Moore’s work on display will be a shining example of the creativity and enormous contribution he made to the development of contemporary art in the UK and way beyond, and I’m excited to be showing our February collection alongside the remarkable work of the artist that inspired it,” Bailey added.
