The Stærk Reality of Wearing Tight Leather Pants
CALLING CARD
Who are we to pass up a coffee and Danish in the morning? Hailing from Denmark, but stationed in NYC, designer Camilla Staerk texts us a few words about fall fashion, pastries, and her brand new Stærk store.
DC: You recently opened your very first free-standing shop in Little Italy, just in time for the San Gennaro festival. If you could have the street fair to yourself for an hour, what would you do?
Camilla: I would invite all my friends and replace the cannoli-eating contest with a vodka martini contest. I would also open up my store and serve snaps and herring to give everyone a little taste of Denmark.
DC: Is there an ideal look for someone attending this booze bash?
Camilla: A black leather racer-back tank, jersey pencil skirt, and my signature head scarf.
DC: You are going b-a-n-a-n-a-s over _____for fall.
Camilla: I am so excited to wear my riding boots and can’t wait for a pair of the Stærk gold crocodile stilettos.
DC: We’ll be seeing _____on all the gals in NYC come winter.
Camilla: Head scarves and leather riding pants.
DC: Giddyup!
Stærk, 182 Mulberry Street, between Broome & Kenmare Streets (212-343-1160).
