Stærk SS09

Camilla Stærk is known for her distinctive use of leather and dark romanticism, and you can really see why in her Spring 2009 collection. Camilla is a native of Denmark and studied fashion in London, but she now calls New York home. Her collections in London marked her as "a future fashion star" in the words of British Vogue, and her work went on to be awarded Top Shop's New Generation Award three times. She now has a devoted celebrity following including Liv Tyler, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and The Raveonettes. In August, Stærk opened her first boutique in Nolita. The space reflects her Scandinavian roots—the perfect environment for her sleek designs.
