“A woman with style and confidence is a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. It's almost impossible to exude confidence and style when you are not internally happy with who you are.” This is how the lovely Cynthia describes a woman of style and confidence. We at the Legacy spoke to this amazing woman more about her and her love for fashion.
Because there is so much going on in the fashion industry, it is difficult for Cynthia to pinpoint one person she looks up to. Mimi G and so many other bloggers have been an inspiration to both her own personal style and as a fashion blogger by bringing fashion and style to the everyday woman better than any model could.
She also looks up to the ever fashion forward Victoria Beckham, for the brand she has built, her continuing evolution, determination and commitment to her brand and aspirations. “I also appreciate designers for the pure skill of taking a mental concept and putting it on paper and the dressmakers that bring it to life. I just love the entire creative nature of the well-oiled machine that is the fashion industry” she says.
On making the move from law to fashions she says, “I don't think I made a conscious decision to leave law for fashion. Life, post motherhood, took its own course with me and in a sense allowed me to follow my passion and focus more on what made me happy. Motherhood is easily the best thing that ever happened to me. It matures you in such a special way. And I have the perfect daughter that I just adore. In a sense, becoming a mother led me down the path of a career in fashion. I prioritize my family so all work has to work around my daughters needs and so far it is working well. Also having people that support me with my dreams has been a bonus.”
Cynthia’s biggest aspiration right now is to create a brand that is classy, fresh, elegant and affordable for the everyday woman. A true sense of beauty begins with great character, personality and confidence. “There are so many different types of physical and visual beauty but these are only accentuated by inner beauty, kindness and confidence.”
She stress how important it is that women are aware that not every trend is to be followed and that it’s important for one to know their body and dress appropriately.
So from here its onward and upward she says. This time is all about focusing on her aspirations and looking at all the opportunities that come her way. “I'm still learning and growing as an individual so without a doubt I foresee many changes to come.”
