The popular brand has expanded its bag-focused offerings to a full range including apparel, shoes and accessories.

The 33-year-old was also one of the first few designers to embrace ‘See now by now’ as well as meld tech and fashion in both her fashion shows and products. The millennial fashion designer has built her own clothing and accessory empire by targeting young women and actually connecting with them on a personal level, mainly using social media and influencer marketing.

Rebecca started off by saying that she had a series of bad jobs before she found her passion. I’m sure we can all relate to this one right? So next time you think about how much you hate your job, remember Rebecca Minkoff worked for a “psycho” for years and look how things turned out for her.

When she started her business with her brother, he started off with a $23,000 salary and she didn’t take a salary at all. Shocking to most, not surprising to some, after all that is what happens when you’re an entrepreneur.

She said she was always pretty tenacious as her mother would tell her “if you want that dress, I’ll show you how to sew it” instead of getting it for her. She stressed the importance of figuring it out, which I think is something a lot of bloggers lack today. Bloggers want things and success yesterday but aren’t willing to do the work to get there.

Even today Rebecca faces challenges, she said it’s not like you reach a certain level of success and kick your feet up and relax. It is a constant hustle. The obstacles don’t stop, they just take a different form. Mo money, mo problems kinda deal.
