In September, Burberry moved its London Fashion Week show from Kensington Gardens to a new home in Soho - Makers House - a celebration of craftsmanship, where visitors were invited to explore the creative world of the British Fashion House. The space remained open for a week following the show, playing host to a series of artistic demonstrations, events and performances, plus a cafe and exhibition.

Burberry has today confirmed that Makers House will return for the February London Fashion Week show, this time as part of a collaboration with the Henry Moore foundation. Guests will be invited to visit a unique exhibition celebrating the Burberry February 2017 collection, as well as "the work and creative process of the artist that inspired it" - exploring Moore's working methods and sculptural ideas.

The exhibition will be open to the public - with free admission - from 21-27 February and will feature over 40 of Moore's sculptures, bronzes, drawings and maquettes. Works on show will Mother and Child: Block Seat (1983–84), Draped Reclining Mother and Baby (1983) and Torso with Point (1967).
