Cynthia Rowley Resort 2009

When we were young we thought Cynthia Rowley and Betsey Johnson basically took the cake when it came to fashion. It was at this time, let's not forget, that we wore bristleless toothbrushes as bracelets and went to bed at 8pm. Both designers, however, never really left us and in the midst of ultra-seriousness at New York Fashion Week, it makes us smile to see their shows (maybe we were right in loving them). For this Resort 2009 Rowley showed a collection that encompassed both thirteen year-old whimsy and grown-up style prowess. For the teenager in us there were (well, the models) teeny tiny shift dresses in palatable colors like ice blue, and for our more mature side, black silk parachute pants and modern art-inspired costume jewelry.
