Calla F14Known for her original prints, Calla Haynes designing for her eponymous label CALLA presented a whimsical collection of original prints that were inspired by animals but drawn in graphic style.

A Toronto native, Calla Haynes studied fashion at Parsons School of Design, and then moved to Paris after graduation. She worked with Olivier Theyskens at Rochas and Nina Ricci before she launched her own label. Ms. Haynes has been based in Paris for the past 9 years.

But, when it was time to show her collections, she went back to her roots, coming to New York twice a year to unveil her latest creations.

Her Fall 2014 collection presented at Milk Studio on February 8th is representative of her signature style – upbeat, easy to wear with a generous dash of artistry.
