Cynthia Ashby is a Chicago based company located in the heart of East Ukrainian Village. The poetry of color is a key part of what makes these garments unique. The clothing is garment dyed, which creates a quality of uncommon depth and texture. The garments are made from linen, cotton, silk and wool in assorted textures and weights. The raw look of the fabric is animated with fine detailing in design and construction. Cynthia Ashby speaks to the woman who does not subscribe to fashion trends. This woman is on a perpetual treasure hunt, collecting pieces to mix and layer, creating different combinations and infinite choices for her wardrobe.

Cynthia Ashby’s Holiday 2007 collection mingles a classic elegance with an impulsive verve. Black silk velvet and black nylon mesh mingle with dyed silk tulle and silk satin. Delicate threads interlace to form a gossamer radiance. Dyed in hints of Cinnamon, Nightfall, Roux, and Patina to effect an ethereal vivacity.
