Welcome to the set of our first fashion film, the apocalyptical Welcome End, by director Eva Michon. Starring the Spring 2012 collection by Calla Haynes, the film is the stylish telling of what might be the last day on earth. And what better place to prep for the end of the world than a North Toronto mansion complete with marble fireplace, glass tabletops, and a cavernous book-filled library?
Lewis Mirrett was on set to capture all the action, from Fashion Television’s visit, to model Devon Owens hissing at a porcelain cat.

Calla Haynes teams up with denim brand April 77 for spring. We’ve got the look book!
Photography by Maciek Pozoga
For the Calla fans who appreciate a little less frill, the Toronto-born and Paris-based designer is now bringing her heavenly digi prints to everyday, with a Spring 2012 collaboration with denim brand April 77. The brand’s cult silhouettes get the Calla treatment in mostly grey and off white, but we’ve got our eye on the deep-cobalt Seurat-meets-Pollack print on the brand’s Marky jean pictured above.

Soft and romantic, the look at Calla Haynes was a modern approach to ‘60s beauty—and if that brings to mind visions of fresh faces and at-home hot rollers, you’re on the right track. For hair, Justin German, Pantene’s consulting stylist, created two different versions of a rough half-updo, with a textured bump—“For lack of a better word,” he noted—on top and loose, brushed-out curls at the back. German pointed out that the finished look included visible bobby pins to make the hair look “almost like you did it yourself.”

TFW diary: 3 or more things that Calla Haynes does particularly well

Things that Calla Haynes does well:
1. Prints, not repurposed from a fabric show, but dreamed up and developed herself.
2. Shapes, by turns shrunken and body-skimming (though less so as time goes by), voluminous and seeming to float, or floor-grazing but never heavy.
3. Prettiness, the type that manages to fall just short of saccharine. It doesn’t hurt that Haynes brings a bit of Euro-tinged glamour and refinement back with her as a Canadian expat living and working in Paris.

Calla Haynes poses with models
Where to begin. Last night, I took in a presentation by the lovely Canadian expat Calla Haynes, who loves to play with watery abstract prints in soft shapes. The models lined up before a row of potted flowers, then Haynes bashfully stepped in among them to take her bow.
