On the final night of World MasterCard Fashion Week, Toronto’s fashion crowd gathered to see designer Mikael Derderian debut the latest collection of glitzy gowns under his new moniker, Mikael D. The Spring 2014 collection paid tribute to the evening dress with hand-worked details that we’ve come to expect from the former Pavoni designer.
Beginning with a short video detailing female silhouettes lit up with the label’s new name, the show began in true haute spirit, with a meticulously embellished dress featuring a scalloped plunging neckline and a floor-grazing silk skirt puffed up with layers of tulle. The following pieces maintained the artistry of delicate jewels and sequins placed cleverly to highlight the feminine shape. Similarly toned dresses came out one after the other as hues moved from black to green then blue to gold and finally white.
As if the meticulously placed jewels weren’t exquisite enough, pieces had added elements of plunging necklines, sheer paneling, open backs and sensual cut outs. What a perfect end to a week-long showing of designer collections.
