Cynthia Rowley Spring 2012 Runway Show




After seeing Cynthia Rowley's Spring 2012 show, I'm certain of one thing: Bold prints aren't going anywhere. Specifically, colorful, futuristic, distorted prints aren't going anywhere. Think back to last spring at Prada and you'll know where I'm going with this. Contrasting with the wild prints were ladylike skirts and then skirts over pants. Complementing were sporty leggings, scuba fabric and leather mesh tees. I kinda loved it. The models glowed on the gold runway that was both retro and space-age at the same time, and subtle gold detailing on some of the looks bounced that gold light perfectly. And the chunky-heeled shoes! I could see both Alexa Chung and Lindsay Lohan, who were seated front-row, wearing pieces from this collection in radically different ways.
