Cloak & Dagger's - Designer clothing store in NYC

Cloak & Dagger's inventive juxtopositioning of intimate detailing, self designed patterns and luxury fabrics is a clear byproduct of the "eagle eye" Starnes developed in her many years styling for the top houses in fashion (among them Valentino, Prada and Zac Posen) and for some of Hollywood's most forward starlets. The clear sense of tailoring and style she developed along the way, with its romantic and vintage aesthetics, immediately caught the eye of editors and buyers, and virtually overnight the line became a critical and commercial darling. Cloak & Dagger has been featured in top publications since its inception: Vogue, Elle, The Wall Street Journal and New York Magazine. Barneys NY snapped up the complete 2nd season and has been a loyalist ever since. In 2008, after witnessing the sales performance of Cloak & Dagger in his stores, Steven Alan invited Starnes to collaborate on a sell-out limited edition collection that was available exclusively in Steven Allen boutiques. That same year, Starnes was honored for Cloak & Dagger's timeless sophistication and superior quality when she was semifinalist for the Influential Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award. 2009 has by far been the most explosive in the growth of the line. Starnes was guest of honor at the St. Louis Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2009 collections. She was also selected to open the Spring/Summer 2010 collection in the Gen Art's Fresh Faces in Fashion Show, which profiled just seven designers.
