DESIGNER'S DOORWAY

Camilla Staerk

IN THIS FEATURE: Meet Camilla Fashion Focus Biography

She Saddled Her Hubby W/ Cool Clothes

When English photographer Barnaby Roper met his wife, Danish designer Camilla Staerk, he was struck by her dark beauty and unique interpretation of old world style.

After attending fashion school in London and living there for a decade, Camilla moved to New York last year. Her collections tempt fashionable young things with new edge: interpretations of leather jackets and dresses, fur, architectural black, and new versions of the jumpsuit.

We jumped right into her recent collection and personal walk in closet, which she shares with her husband Barnaby, at a home atelier on Bond Street.

When I was a teen, I had cut off the sleeves and wore it with skinny jeans like a waistcoat. I like the quality of leather. My starting point comes from riding. The saddles. My mom took care of horses and every single day, I rode, before I could walk
