Mikhael Kale debuted his ultra sleek Spring 2014 collection in a mid-renovation loft in Toronto’s east side on Friday night. Launching the Spring 2014 season of World Mastercard Fashion Week a few days early, the Toronto-based designer celebrated the female silhouette through cut outs, shadows and hues that demonstrated a great eye for detail.

Powder blue leather commingled with a textured and distressed orange knit set the tone for 21 pieces inspired by geometrical renderings. From colour-saturated suedes and a seafoam green moto jacket, the collection moved on to a pale lavender leather mini dress with a plunging neckline. Layered fabrics subtly printed with varying forest greens, greys and gold, showed a softer feminine character from the strong-featured leathers. The jaw dropper of the show came in the form of a gold leather midi-skirt and jacket combo. The metallic look styled with six inch heels and slicked back hair made for one badass femme. A futuristic black leather two-piece was the perfect finale to the show.

The power and confidence exuded in each piece made it no surprise that Beyoncé, Sienna Miller and J.Lo have sought out Kale’s designs. The designer, who summarized his Spring 2014 show as “a culmination of technique, shape and a styling direction,” undoubtedly showed great study of the female form by creating pieces that celebrate it.
