Cynthia Rowley
REVIEW
COMPLETE COLLECTION
NEW YORK, June 15, 2010
By Matthew Schneier
"If you can't bring Muhammad to the mountain…" Cynthia Rowley explained of the decision to pack her Resort collection, a couple of models, and a small staff of cater-waiters onto a bus—a fashion Winnebago, if you will—and take it to editor central, midtown Manhattan, where the girls paraded for the press (and more than a few gawking, photo-snapping passersby). The slightly frenetic setting mirrored the collection. Rowley explored a few different themes: dark denim, appliquéd onto chiffon dresses; metallics, from a layered miniskirt to paisley lounge pants; and prints, mostly geometric or floral. But take it apart and there were winners, like a piecemeal maxi skirt with an asymmetric hemline that was summer-easy (coming off her surf collection with Roxy, Rowley layered it over pink boy-short swim trunks). In general, the clothes were relatively restrained; accessories amped up the volume. There were sweet ankle socks—color-blocked, floral, or dusted with paillettes—shown with chunky heels, and, following on a theme from Resort '10, kitschy-cute necklaces. Last time, it was fishing hooks; this time around, the catch itself: a sort of koi-lobster hybrid that Rowley insisted was a langoustine.
