For Jewish girls, the bat mitzvah is a pivotal moment of becoming a young adult and joining the adult community. For Rebecca Minkoff, who had been designing and sewing clothes since she was eight years old, the celebration was also a chance to showcase her fashion skills - and her “newly budding rack.” Pulling inspiration from the 1700s (think Bridgerton ), Rebecca designed a square-necked, Empire-waist number that checked her boxes (and her parents made sure it stayed PG-13). For Rebecca, this was a foundational step in the lifelong process of becoming a fashion mogul. Now, in 2021, Rebecca Minkoff has flagship stores in LA, Hong Kong and New York City, among others; she’s also distributed by more than 900 companies worldwide. While Rebecca has enjoyed early boosts to her brand - Jenna Elfman wore her “I Love New York” shirt on The Jay Leno Show in 2001 - Rebecca has also worked hard to cultivate her business’s profile.
