FASHIONWEEK Spring 2008: Cynthia Rowley Gets Sportif & Sophisticated. FASHIONTRIBES FASHION BLOG

 

Summary:  The show ended with models whizzing by on bicycles, followed by Rowley herself, inspired by an active and healthy lifestyle...whether it be riding your bicycle, playing tennis or going for a stroll. “70s sporty, sport of the leisure class, a little croquet, cricket," explains Rowley about her French-inspired Lace Sportif collection.  "Everything was very long and lean, athletic-inspired.”  Gold bicycle charm necklaces definitely added a golden touch, while the breezy & playful dresses, racerback dresses, shirtdresses and classy suits proved perfect for an outdoor atmosphere - adding up to a collection brimming with sporty, sophisticated chic.
