<P>An industry leader in accessible luxury handbags, accessories, footwear and apparel, Rebecca Minkoffs playful and subtly edgy designs can be spotted around the world on young women and celebrities alike.</P>
<P>After developing an affinity for design while in the costume department in high school, Rebecca Minkoff moved to New York City at only 18 years old to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer.</P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>In 2005, Rebecca designed her first handbag, which she soon dubbed the Morning After Bag, a.k.a. the M.A.B. This iconic bag ignited Rebeccas career as a handbag designer and inspired her downtown romantic-themed designs in the years to come. Rebeccas success was further enhanced by the support of her brother and the companys CEO and co-founder, Uri Minkoff, who helped usher in and pioneer the companys industry-leading social media efforts.</P>
<P>After four years of designing statement-making handbags and accessories with her trademark leathers, studs and edgy hardware, Rebecca returned to her roots of apparel design and introduced her first ready-to-wear collection in 2009.</P>
<P>Today, Rebecca Minkoff is a global lifestyle brand with a wide range of apparel, handbags, footwear, jewelry, accessories (including tech), and athleisure, as well as mens clothing and accessories under the label Uri Minkoff. The brand has three domestic retail stores, two international locations, and is distributed in over 900 stores worldwide. In 2011, she won industry recognition when she was awarded the Breakthrough Designer Award from the Accessories Council. Rebecca is an active member of the CFDA and supports multiple philanthropies including Jessica Seinfelds non-profit, Baby Buggy.</P>
