Designer Cynthia Rowley certainly changed up her usually quirky conservative style this season.Her Spring 2012 collection was young, edgy, powerful and beautifully artistic. Clearly trying to reach a younger, hipper downtown crowd,  Rowley’s show was described as a “flash mobs of floral and animated shapes”  alive with bold painterly patterns, glittering gold hues and fabulous texture. The leggings were to die for, the silk A-Line dresses were breathtaking, the blazers were chic and the rock n roll inspired leather mesh tops and skirts surprised everyone.

Every detail Rowley created this season seamed to turn to gold- literally. Modeled marched down a midus touched gold metallic runway accessorize in patchwork doctor bags to belts to flash lens eye-wear.
