The sculptor Henry Moore was
born in Castleford, Yorkshire,
the same place Burberry began
producing many of its iconic
designs in the 1880s. Looking
to Moore for inspiration,
creative director Christopher
Bailey has created a second
“see-now, buy-now” collection
that eschews his usual bright
colours for black, white, grey
and a faded, workwear blue,
said to be the hues of Moore’s
daily wardrobe. The Burberry
trench was softened and
shrugged on over short shirt
dresses with an asymmetric
placket. And an intricate
embellished macramé capelet—
Burberry produced capes in the
1880s—lent a sculptural finish
to a sheer white lace dress.BURBERRY
Nomadic goddesses reigned in Ralph Lauren’s
desert-themed vision for fall/winter 2017. The
maison’s signature preppie-gypset aesthetic was
sprinkled with a touch of Arabian Nights in silk
loungewear layered over rolled-up jeans, a toga
gown cinched with a leather belt, and oversized
earrings and worn-gold necklaces. Talk about
making a dramatic exit: some gowns were
plain in front with an entirely different backstory,
as scoop necklines behind framed dramatic
bejewelled necklaces.
