After Camilla Stærk saw Patti Smith live a few months ago, it led her back to Smith's famed Mapplethorpe portrait, and in short order, Stærk was waist-deep in the photographer's work. "I've always loved his pictures," said the designer at her joint presentation with her friend, menswear designer Victor Glemaud. "They're so strong but still so sensitive."

Oh I quite like it! I love the idea of that sheer stop with the long pencil skirt. It's nothing over the top amazing, but it's nothing to not like.
