Luminous Speaker Series: Cynthia Rowley Join us for a Luminous Speaker Series with designer and best-selling author, Cynthia Rowley. In this fireside chat between Cynthia Rowley and Cate Luzio you will hear from the designer about how she built her career on taking risks and what it's like starting your own fashion brand. Cynthia began her career in fashion while studying at the Art Institute of Chicago (where she had every intention of becoming a painter). After graduation, she took what little seed money she had and moved to NYC to start her eponymous fashion brand. Whether she’s exploring on a far-flung getaway, surfing secret spots in exotic destinations, or scuba-diving in an arctic glacier, it’s safe to say the designer is known to take risks. Come prepared for styling and shopping at our Cynthia Rowley Pop-Up Closet happening that day!
