by on ‎02-08-2012 07:33 PM

L.A.-based Cynthia Vincent has made quite a name for herself both here in the United States and across the pond. And this Friday, at our very own remote show live from New York Fashion Week, we're debuting her new line on QVCCV by Cynthia Vincent!

 

What's the single best accessory out there according to Cynthia? What happened when she walked into her 7th grade English class? Read her lightning-round answers below.

 

Q: Black or White?

A: Black.

 

Q: Solid or Print?

A: PRINT!

 

Q: Purse or Handbag?

A: What's the difference? 

 

Q: Flats or Stilettos?

A: Depends on the occasion. But there's always room for both.

 

Q: Silk or Cashmere?

A: Hmmm….can't I have both?

 

Q: Favorite Fashion Decade?

A: 1940s.

 

Q: Least Favorite Fashion Decade?

A: I don't think I have one. Every decade has something amazing to inspire.

 

Q: Single Best Accessory?

A: Bangle bracelets. One looks great, or you can wear them my favorite way…stacked! Bangles are timeless and always fashionable. I've collected mine over the years and each one tells a story.

 

Q: Proudest Moment?

A: My first cover of Women's Wear Daily.

 

Q: Most Embarrassing Moment?

A: I was walking into my 7th grade English class feeling so fashionable in my fabulous, full, floor-length peasant skirt (that I just made for myself), when a big gust of wind shot through the classroom, blowing my skirt over my head, trapping me into exposing myself in front of my entire class. Thank goodness it was before YouTube and cell phone cameras! I still laugh about that to this day.

 

Q: Favorite Food? 

A: Mexican street food.

 

Q: Latest Obsession?

A: It's an ongoing obsession…Frances Elkins, interiors.

 

Q: Pet Peeve?

A: People (including me) say "like” much too often.

 

Q: Biggest Weakness?

A: Considering all sides.

 

Q: Favorite Place?

A: Besides being home (and under a decadent blanket fort with my daughter), I want to be in Tulum, Mexico under a grass hut.

 

Q: Favorite Movie?

A: Do I really have to pick just one? The Philadelphia Story is my first and all-time fave.

 

Q: You’re Dying to Work with…

A: Grace Coddington.

 

Q: Happiest Purchase in the Last Month?

A: My antique bamboo and silver bangle bracelet purchased in an antique store in Shanghai!

 

Q: Motto You Live by…

A: "Right here right now." It keeps me present and centered.

 

Don't forgetour Fashion Week coverage begins Friday at 10pm ET. If you want to watch the full runway show, start to finish, we've got it for you on QVC's Facebook page. Tomorrow, I'm excited to be attending the launch of a new exhibition: 50 Years of the CFDA at the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology! I'll post pictures on my Facebook page. {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}
