Cynthia Rowley Spring/Summer 2011

At its core, Cynthia Rowley’s Spring collection was about clean shapes in yummy sherbet colors. Slim trousers, shells and sheaths cut nice lines and looked fresh and sporty when layered with sheer striped knits.

There were shiny baubles studded on day dresses, skirts and pants. It was a slightly edgy juxtaposition against the prim, light-colored dresses and proper skirts and blouses on display. But she didn’t stop there. Several looks were perforated as with a giant paper punch with big hollowed out circles as well as sweaters with invisible (transparent) stripes and slits.
