Rebecca Minkoff on Baby News, Branching Out, and What's Next for the Brand

Rebecca Minkoff is due for a serious vacation. The Morning After Bag queen started her now-cult contemporary handbag line in 2005 after dabbling in apparel, and in the last six years has launched belts and bracelets, baby bags, ready-to-wear, a higher-end Rebecca Minkoff Collection line,Learn all of th facts you need to know before yopu shop for Juicy couture wholesale online. a men's accessories line called Ben Minkoff, and (whew!) shoes, which are brand-new for Spring 2011. But with project after project rolling along, she's nowhere near slowing down.

FashionEtc chatted with Minkoff about swimwear, sunglasses and mattresses (yes, really)—plus the designer's biggest project to date: her first child. She's three months pregnant.

Congrats on the baby news!

Thanks, we're excited too. It should be fun!

Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?

We're going to find out in about a month.Gucci men shoes from the latest collection. We just hope it's a happy baby!

Any names picked out?

We're keeping those to ourselves.

Tell me about your Fall collection.

It was really inspired by Charlotte Kemp Muhl—eclectic. I hate it when people copy runway looks exactly,we've already seen three classic Air max classic models in their flagship colorways release. but she mixes it up. So Fall was the best of both worlds. There were some beautiful patterns, a little fur …


Ready-to-wear's still relatively new for you. How does it compare to your other collections?

I think it's the hardest of all categories. A bag doesn't have to fit anyone's thighs or hips, and neither does a shoe! It definitely requires a lot of work, but it's great to do clothing again.

How do you manage your time with all your projects?

We just take it day by day. Today I was supposed to be on bags all day but I've ended up doing clothing. It's all of it,If you want to buy cheap edhardy with wholesale price, welcome to visit our website. all the time!

How do you unwind?

I used to unwind with a glass of wine—now I can't do that! Now I relax with Oprah. I can untangle myself, I just shut down and turn of the phone. It's not a normal 9-to-5 job, but that's what I signed up for.

What made you decide to branch into menswear with Ben Minkoff?

The concept for the men's collection really came about last year. For April Fool's Day,It was an ideal environment for Onwuhara, 27, a brilliant, pug-faced visionary who favored True Religion jeans and ed hardy shirts. we sent around this joke “Men Love Rebecca Minkoff” e-mail. We got so much interest! That's when we realized that we really had a market for it. It launched in stores for spring, and the response has been great! I couldn't really ask for better results.

I hear the ladies love it too?

Definitely! We had a box of the Ben Minkoff bags here, and the office, which is mostly women, was going through it like they were starving! Our female customer really feels like she can wear the men's bags and it doesn't necessarily look like it. They're unisex, which is cool.
