Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent is best defined by the creative mind behind its incredible pieces. “To me, what is most inspiring is seeing a woman who is at once feminine, stylish, confident, and most of all, original,” says Cynthia Vincent.

And that is indeed the vision that Cynthia brings, season after season, with Twelfth Street. After formally training at Otis Parsons School of Design, Cynthia took her skills to London for a few years before bringing her extensive talents back to her California roots and starting the line that would define her sensibility.

Cynthia launched Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent with a bang during LA Fashion Week in 2003. And from that moment on, her collection has become a driving force in fashion. From the onset, Twelfth Street has been a favorite of fashion editors from publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Lucky, InStyle, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, ElleGirl, Jane, US Weekly, OK!, Life & Style, and Women’s Wear Daily. And to stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus , Barneys New York, Scoop, Intermix, Poppy, Fred Segal/Ron Herman, Tracy Ross, Madison, American Rag, and Holt Renfrew.

And the celebrity following couldn’t be bigger. From Hollywood’s staple fashionistas—Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez, to the newest stylemakers like Rachel Bilson and Nicole Richie, Cynthia’s designs are an A List go-to.

In Fall 2005, Cynthia brought her unique vision to shoes. From the perfect ballerina flat, to the naughty secretary pump, and the strappy high heel, she again offers something for every girl in the know.

Just when you thought she’d quelched your every fashion thirst, Cynthia Vincent created CYN, her brand new denim line. It is at once handcrafted and personal, but also fashion-forward and design-focused.

“We reach for what makes us feel sexy and it’s that attitude, coupled with a desire for comfort, that’s inspired Twelfth Street,” Cynthia Vincent.
