NYFW Cynthia Rowley (part two)

. One comment.

Scene: Spring/Summer 2022, with a sunset Lady Liberty view from the tip of Manhattan’s Wagner Park. “I’m slightly Y2K-obsessed, but not too much,” designer Cynthia Rowley said following her playful and feminine show. Rowley combined her various categories — swim and surf, girly occasion and daywear, and sporty leisure layers into one collection that embodied wearable, optimistic, and fun styles with just enough of a nod to the early 2000s. The nod came in the form of butterfly and floral motifs, chunky crystal jewelry and embellishments, and a girly, bright palette. Spring was one of Rowley’s most cohesive collections in recent seasons and a celebratory return to New York Fashion Week.
Talent for the show: Hair by lead hairstylist Rodney Cutler of Cutler Salons and team. Makeup by lead makeup artist Cassandra Garcia and team for Bobbi Brown. 
Above photo, Maia Hannemann represented by The Industry Model Management is wearing a Twilight Dress. And Mia Speicher represented by Next New York is wearing a Smocked Silk Twill Dress.

Scene: Cassandra Garcia, lead makeup artist for Bobbi Brown, comments on the makeup direction “Pretty, rosy, with a soft pink eyeliner complemented with a soft glowing rose lip.”
Scene: Rodney Cutler, lead hairstylist of Cutler Salons, comments on the hair direction “Elegant, deconstructed, a return to glamour with a young attitude.”
Scene: New 3D printed, made-to-order, futuristic wedges, which Rowley explained were the result of trying to find a more sustainable and manageable solution to her current shoe business.
Scene: Cynthia Rowley said postshow “Sexy! Sexy for sure, right? Haven’t we been waiting a lot of time to be sexy?”
