In 2001, Rebecca’s career as a fashion designer and founder started, in some ways, by chance. She had been designing her own clothes on the side and one piece she had made was an altered version of the iconic “I Love NY” t-shirt. She sent that shirt to actress Jenna Elfman on September 9th, 2001. Elfman wore that shirt on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno two days after 9/11. Rebecca’s t-shirt would end up in the pages of magazines like Glamour, In Touch and Us Weekly. That was the catalyst for nearly two-decades of success in the world of fashion. Rebecca Minkoff's continued success is due, in large part, to her embracing change.
