Cynthia Rowley Debuts Round Sunglasses For Summer
If you're on the hunt for the season's most eponymous accessory, look no further. Cynthia Rowley recently debuted a range of two-tone round sunglasses that perfectly capture the spirit of this popular Spring 09 trend. Available in Cynthia Rowley stores and online, the shades come in three color ways and retail for $250. Although perfectly merchandized with Rowley's sporty, modern Spring collection, the sunglasses did not appear on the runway. Instead Rowley showed a few pairs of oversized flat-top shades which are also two-tone. That particular style retails for $200 and can also be found in stores and online.

Elle Decor Women In Design
Last night we attended an event put on by Elle Decor called Women In Design in which women all of all ages grabbed some sparkling water and white wine and listened to a panel discussion about interior design and architecture from the female standpoint. On the panel were, Annabelle Seldorf, Bunny Williams, Celerie Kemble, and fashion designer Cynthia Rowley. Rowley talked about her move from an all-white loft apartment (pre-children) to a townhouse with hardwood floors (post-children) and the tendency for elements of her collection to make their way into her home decor. The event included Elle Decor's first annual award for outstanding achievement in design, called the Vision Award, which was earned by Paula S. Wallace, who is the co-founder and President of the largest art and design college in America, namely, Savannah College of Art and Design. The women, led in discussion by Elle Decor's Editor in Chief, Margaret Russell (left), spoke about a range of topics including the recession and the challenges of working with demanding clients. Although not much of the conversation focused, in particular, on their perspectives as women, the point was taken that those who sat on the stage had more than earned their powerful positions in design.

Cynthia Rowley at Collette Blanchard Gallery
lifestyle, feature · October 16, 2008 · 0 Comments
The Collette Blanchard Gallery is opening its doors tonight with it's inaugural exhibition Belle du Jour and fashion observers would do well to note that designer Cynthia Rowley has two paintings at the gallery. The exhibit is a collaborative effort between Blanchard and independent curator Chrissy Crawford.
According to the press release, Belle du Jour brings together some of the art world's most relevant and contemporary female artists, each imparting on a unique approach to the female figure. Presenting painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography and video; there is a diversity of mediums as well as perspectives.
Belle de Jour includes works by Asgar/Gabriel, Sarah Baley, Jane Benson, Libby Black, iona rozeal brown, Zoe Charlton, E.V. Day, Langdon Graves, Julie Heffernan, Tracey Langfitt, Maria Porges, Mickalene Thomas, Cynthia Rowley, Laurie Simmons, Shinique Smith and Cindy Wright. The group exploration transports the viewer across a wide continuum.
The mummified Barbie Dolls of E.V. Day, which reference both embalmed Egyptian queens and captive Islamic women barely visible in their burkas, compliment the lush, self-portraits of historical set paintings of Julie Heffernan. The sexual identity photographs of Sarah Baley share a forum with the graphite drawings of Maria Porges. In their totality, all the exhibiting artists stake their claim to redefining the vocabulary of the female figure imagery.
Curator Chrissy Crawford opened her own art advisory while in London working directly with private clients. Her business moved to New York in 2006 with a focus on independent curating. After fifteen years in the art world, Blanchard has opened her own establishment to focus on her specific vision. She will be exhibiting and representing artists reflecting that cutting-edge point of view. Located in the burgeoning gallery district on the Lower East Side, the space will be within the sphere of the recently relocated New Museum.
