A graduate of the Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, designer Cynthia Vincent embarked on her post-college career by designing for other indie brands in both California and London. Upon returning to the states, Vincent launched her own collection in 2003, Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, a line of playfully sexy separates, shoes, and accessories. Vincent counts Scarlett Johansson, Rachel Bilson, and Gwyneth Paltrow among her many devoted fans of her ultra-ladylike, vintage-inspired pieces.
