“We asked our models to give their best 90s supermodels strut. They all brought it!”
Cynthia Rowley Fall-Winter 2020
Cynthia Rowley knows how to have a good time, especially given last season’s Tribeca street SS20 runway show. With this season’s location was at Spring Studios, leave it to Rowley to bring her energy and color to brighten up the space. Cynthia Rowley’s FW20 collection embraced the spirit of the her brand through the unique approach to prints and unexpected patterns. The floral prints mixed with dark colors, made the collection feel like a fresh, groovy fall. I loved the addition to tulle over some of the models — making the clothes all the more fun. The flared sleeves were my favorite, especially layered under a dress.
Of course, what definitely brought the whole show to life were the models giving their best 90s supermodel runway walk! As any runway show, the music started and models began to appear up and down the runway, but the immersive experience at Cynthia Rowley’s show this season was the model sitting right next to me in the middle aisle. As models jumped up from random seats through the space to walk down the runway show, the one next to me got up (my heart skipped a beat). I was so startled, for a second, almost getting up myself ( JK, I wish! ). The energy was without a doubt fun and uplifting as the rows around me cheered and applauded. Rowley definitely embraced the spirit of the unexpected, from the music, to the models, to the clothes — it was a reflection of the designer’s unique approach to fashion.
