Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent

Los Angeles based Cynthia Vincent has mastered universal appeal to become one of the industry's leading contemporary designers. Cynthia began her journey studying at Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design, where she perfected her classic yet eclectic silhouettes that encourage women to express their individuality through well-conceived, timeless garments. After graduating with a Silver Thimble Award, Cynthia was recruited by prestigious design houses, including Harriet Selwyn before launching St. Vincent, in 1993. St. Vincent was an incredible success, leading Cynthia to merge the collection to form the contemporary line VINCE., which immediately solidified its reputation as a coveted sweater brand. 2003 marked the launch of TWELFTH STREET BY CYNTHIA VINCENT at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and since its debut, the Ready-to-Wear collection has vastly extended to include sought after accessories including handbags, scarves and footwear. Through the years, Cynthia has also had tremendous successful collaborations with Target and QVC, which resulted in instant sell outs. CYNTHIA VINCENT is globally recognized- sold both domestically and internationally. The brand can be spotted around the globe on the everyday woman, top fashion bloggers, and celebrities alike. Last Spring, Cynthia simultaneously celebrated the brand's 10th year anniversary and was inducted into the CFDA. She is also a supporter of many philanthropies, spending her time and focus with The Teen Project-- providing teens aging out of the foster care system with all of the resources and support of an intact family– allowing the greatest opportunity for a successful transition to adulthood.
