It's not easy to maintain relevance in an industry that always seeks the next shiny thing, but Cynthia Rowley has enviable longevity. This year alone, the energetic fashion designer wrapped her 101st runway show at New York Fashion Week, collaborated with everyone from State Bags to Pottery Barn to Airbnb Experiences, and will receive the CFDA’s Founder’s Award in honor of Eleanor Lambert in November.
