Cynthia Rowley was seven when she constructed her first dress. As a senior at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, she sold her first collection of eight pieces to a number of New York's most prominent stores.

Since then, the Cynthia Rowley Collection has grown beyond women's wear to include the Cynthia Rowley for Roxy collection of beachwear and wetsuits, eyewear, beauty, baby, bicycles, home sewing patterns, tools, handbags, shoes, legwear, shapewear, and dress-up band-aids, not to mention a mobile fashion unit: the Cynthia Rowley Shop on Wheels. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) honored Cynthia with the prestigious Perry Ellis Award for Womenswear and recognized her again with a nomination for New Menswear Design Talent. The Cynthia Rowley Collection is sold in better department, specialty and online stores, as well as in approximately sixty Cynthia Rowley shops around the world.

Having appeared on numerous TV shows, including "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Oprah," "Good Morning America," and "Today," Cynthia has long been an impacting fashion and style authority.
