Long story short: An industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear and apparel, Rebecca Minkoff’s playful and subtly edgy designs can be spotted around the world on young women and celebrities alike.
In 2001, Rebecca designed a version of the “I Love New York” t-shirt as part of a five-piece capsule collection, which appeared on The tonight show and became an overnight sensation.
Today, Rebecca Minkoff has developed into a global lifestyle brand with a wide range of accessories, footwear, apparel, handbags and jewelry as well as men’s leather goods under the label Ben Minkoff. The brand is distributed in over 900 stores worldwide, and on March 1, 2012, Rebecca opened her first free-standing boutique in Tokyo. This year, Rebecca received industry recognition when she was awarded Designer of the Year by the American Apparel & Footwear Association, and she has previously been awarded Marketer of the Year by Footwear News in 2012 and the Breakthrough Designer Award by the Accessories Council in 2011.

Rebecca Minkoff kept things relatively simple this time around, riffing on a quintessential girl-meets-boy theme. Nixing the elaborate narrative was a smart decision, considering the designer's contemporary customers aren't generally coming to her for fiesta wares or astronaut suits. What Minkoff's fans really want are cool, fashion-forward clothes and accessories to wear on an everyday basis, which is exactly what she delivered for Fall.
"It's about taking menswear-inspired silhouettes and translating them into feminine colors and silhouettes," Minkoff said backstage. Classic wool Crombie coats and faux fur toppers were shown with feminine, printed silk dresses underneath. Elsewhere, Minkoff added a bit of flash to the mix with gold lamé button-ups and relaxed trousers, which nicely offset the mannish, Oxford stripe pieces they were paired with. This modern contrast was also evident in the carefully considered color palette. Petal pink was teamed with oxblood, and bright teal complemented navy. Minkoff doubled up on accessories, styling several noteworthy looks with not one but two chain-link purses. She also made an argument for belt bags: "If a backpack can make a comeback, fanny packs can too."
