Rebecca Minkoff’s Resort & Cruise 2014 collection draws its influence from the free spirit of a girl on the road with a band as they travel along the Pacific Coast Highway. The New Wave era has reached its peak, changing the cultural climate from punk to pop.
Her style is eclectic and reflects her diverse experiences and encounters on her journey. Keeping the attitude of the pop era, Minkoff translates her vision into a more feminine, modern approach. Exaggerated silhouettes provocatively accentuate the waist line, bust and hips – highlighting and empowering the female figure.
Delicate lace bombers and vibrant floral motos create a harmony of rocker edge and elegance while neon tweed jogging pants tap into the essence of the early 80s. True to the inner rebel of the girl with the band, zippers are placed front and center along sweater sleeves, trousers and dresses, which she tops off with leather studded jackets – and a dose of insouciance.
With a vision of building a lifestyle brand for the downtown romantic, San Diego-born designer Rebecca Minkoff founded her company in 2001 after she developed a small apparel line.
She spent the next few years working on the small collection until 2005 when Rebecca developed the “Morning After Bag”.
The bag became an overnight sensation and Rebecca began solely concentrating on developing additional styles to build out her romantically themed day-to-night handbag collection.
After four years of consistent growth in accessories under her belt, Rebecca returned to her original love of apparel design and introduced a ready-to-wear collection in 2009. Rebecca Minkoff’s designs are a favorite for modern, trend-setting everyday women and celebrities alike.
