Rebecca Minkoff
Fashion Designer
Began her career primarily as a handbag designer known for what she calls "downtown romantic" aesthetic. The expansive designer eventually graduated to other accessories and by 2009 had launched her ready-to-wear apparel collection.
Her inclination towards design began while working as a member of her high school theatre's costume department.
In 2011, she was bequeathed the Breakthrough Designer Award by the Accessories Council.
After marrying actor and director Gavin Bellour, she had two children: a son named Luca and a daughter named Bowie. Her brother, Uri Minkoff, is the CEO and co-founder of her self-titled clothing company.
As a dedicated philanthropist, she has passionately supported Jessica Seinfeld's nonprofit Baby Buggy.
