At one end, a shiny bronze abstracted torso reminds us how Moore and Christopher Bailey (Burberry's chief executive and creative officer,) both Yorkshiremen, are concerned with the human figure. A number of shirts carry reproductions of Moore textile designs, the closest the artist ever came to fashion. Blurring boundariesWhen talking about Moore as an inspiration, Bailey also emphasized the artist's working process and materiality of his sculptures. With a record price of almost £25 million ($31 million) at auction, Moore certainly brings class to Burberry's table. By bringing him headlong into the world of fashion, Bailey is making Moore more relevant to today's market by introducing him to a new audience.
