Illinois native and fashion designer Cynthia Rowley was just seven when she constructed her first dress, and was a senior at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago when she sold her first collection to a number of New York’s most prominent stores. Her collection is now sold in Cynthia Rowley shops in New York, Chicago, East Hampton, Japan, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, as well as in the Cynthia Rowley online boutique. Shops in Beijing and Shanghai are opening soon. The Collection is also represented in better department and specialty stores both domestically and internationally.

In addition to being a fashion designer, Cynthia is also an author and mother of two young daughters. Her latest book, Slim: A Fantasy Memoir, was released in May 2007.
