This is always one of the shows I look forward to. Cynthia Rowley has always represented girly, flirty fun clothes with a sense of humor. This collection did not disappoint. The major theme for Spring 2011 was circles. This came in three-dimensional cabochon appliqués in different sizes or the opposite; perforated circular holes.
The color palette reminded me of licorice all-sorts which fit the candy-dots
effect of the cabochons. The circular holes in the garments also reminded me of the old Lollipop building that used to be across from Columbus circle (now the Museum of Arts and Design). Was this a nod to the show's Lincoln Center location?Cynthia Rowley paid a more direct tribute to the new Fashion Week location's performing arts roots in using sets from the NYC Ballet's "Swan Lake
" and "Romeo and Juliet". Ms. Rowley is a fan.Wouldn't you know it? Just as klutzy Ms. FAB sat down, she cut her wrist on her own jewelry and had to use the dress-up band-aids that were placed on each seat...
