Camilla Stærk
Creative Director

 

Born and raised in the countryside of Denmark, Camilla Stærk studied fashion and textiles at Ravensbourne College in London. The sophisticated, dark romance of her women’s and men’s ready-to-wear, accessories and interiors have earned her the British fashion council’s Newgen award, collaborations with top fashion brands and hotels, multimedia solo art exhibitions and dedicated collectors from London to Tokyo to the Americas.

‘as a whole, her work epitomizes a powerful, continually evolving expression of modern noir: her designs are clean, minimal, sharp and glamorous.’
