On Sale from Cynthia Rowley

Namesake designer Cynthia Rowley famously attempted to launch her fashion career by inviting New York's most important editors to her first runway show-in her walk-up apartment. None attended, but it didn't take long for the line of whimsical-yet-s­ophisticated dresses and skirts to get attention. The brand now includes menswear, handbags, eyewear, jewelry, home accessories, cosmetics, and fragrances, in addition to its now-signature flirty, vintage-inspire­d RTW.
