Camilla Stærk is a Danish-born designer, currently living and working on her label Stærk in New York. She originally designed under a label named after her full name, but after it was bought by CS DK she made a quick exit. To add insult to injury, that label doesn't even exist anymore! Just proves that they should have listened to her...
Her collections are consistently inspired by strong (her name Stærk literally means 'strong' in Danish), powerful, interesting women in history, such as Karen Blixen, and always feature a subdued colour palette, using textures such as leather and lace to create a modernist, minimalist, clean but slightly dangerous (for the lack of a better word) silhouette. I get the feeling that she is a very personal designer... that she designs very much for herself. She is a big fan of headwraps, scarves and hats for example, which are always used in the styling of the shows.
Here are some of her offerings for S/S 09:
