Monday was all about everything Burberry, as I worked with over 70 models to get them runway-ready for the unveiling of Burberry’s second ready-to-wear collection at Makers House in London. Inspired by sculptor Henry Moore, Christopher Bailey once again pulled of a truly beautiful collection.

“I’ve been inspired by Henry Moore all my adult life and I tried to put something of the way he thought about three-dimensional form and sculpture into the clothes. Texture was also important to him and that led me to the laces and the shearlings.”

Influenced by the work of 20th-century artist and sculptor Henry Moore, the runway make-up look focused on natural beauty, creating a sense of individuality through the use of contour and light. Dewy, fresh skin with soft highlights and subtle sculpting enhanced the natural silhouette of the face. Eyes were opened with a touch of brightness at the inner corners, while lips were pared back.
