Caitlin Power Spring 2014: The Calgary-based designer cements her one to watch status with 25 strong looks

See the Caitlin Power Spring 2014 collection »

Showing for the first time in the big time runway space at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto, Calgary-based designer Caitlin Power debuted a French Caribbean-inspired collection for Spring 2014 last Thursday. Tribal and afro-centric rhythms set the tone for 25 looks made for the contemporary career woman.

Clinging to her signature sleek and sophisticated aesthetic for next season, Power opened her show with a strong two-toned chartreuse and olive knee length coat. Delicate blouses were paired with bottoms made of contrasting heavier fabrics. Suit jackets and dresses were given a plunging V-cut neckline that didn’t compromise the practicality of the pieces. Leather showed up on the runway in differing finishes like a snakeskin print in a glossy ruby shade on a skirt and as an accenting panel on a jacket. The designer’s mixing of matte goosebump textured leather with shine gave depth to pieces that could easily transition from day to night. A magnetizing finale of three strong-walking models in leather dresses proved Caitlin Power’s ability to draw in the modern woman.
