Founder and Head Designer

Cynthia Hoey graduated with a degree in Fashion Design from Otis Art Institute/Parsons School of Design in Los Angeles. She worked on Seventh Avenue for Liz Claiborne and most notably for Adrienne Vittadini where for eight years, she was head designer of the swimwear collection amongst other responsibilities. She founded "Cyn & Luca" in 2000.

"I love the beach. I feel so rejuvenated when I'm near water and sunshine. Naturally, I wanted to design a swimwear collection that reflected that attitude.

My image is of a woman who is confident and sexy... whose inner strength is expressed through her sense of style. She is inspired by travel, exotic beaches and places.

I specialized as a swimwear and sportswear designer for over eight years in the design house of Adrienne Vittadini. My suits have been on the covers of Sports Illustrated and Harper's Bazaar, and have been featured in the Victoria's Secret Swim Catalogue.
I am proud and excited to present my current collections."

CYN & LUCA is a sleek collection for the modern woman. It features the most advanced Italian fabrics and it is made in Italy with their specialized knowledge of sophisticated production techniques. Most innovative is our exclusive tubular micro fiber knit fabric that gives an incredible lift and hold without heavy internal construction. It is perfect for the active woman of any age. Our prints have a depth of color and richness in texture that only European fabric makers can achieve.

LIVE IN CYN is a sexy lighthearted collection of separates. It features the sexy fit and styling of the signature collection in a broad range of separates to mix and match to suit your individual vision and body type.
