DESIGNER NAME: Calla Haynes
BACKGROUND: Calla was born in Toronto, Canada. After attending Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, she then went on to work for Olivier Theyskens at Rochas and Nina Ricci.
SIGNATURES: “The collection is known for its original prints and textiles. The prints are painterly, abstract and modern. The silhouettes are designed with Haynes' philosophy of relaxed luxury in mind: pieces that are visually unique but comfortable and easy to wear.”
TRADEMARK PIECE: “The robe 'gaine' inspired by the corsetry of 1950s Parisian couture.”
IDEAL CLIENT: “A creative woman with a complicated life.”
THE COLLECTION: “Vintage video games, Japanese 3D nail art, Bauhaus, imagining what my client wants to wear to an art opening.”
CULTURAL INFLUENCES: “I'm constantly inspired by painting - I love the texture of brushstrokes and always look to contemporary and modern painting.”
PLANS FOR 2013: “Capsule collection for Comptoir des Cotonniers being distributed worldwide in April.”
