Rebecca Minkoff is no stranger to those of us who love fashion and female founders. After her designs first trickled onto the scene in 2001, she's continued to grow her fashion line into what we know today. Now, she's taking her talents in a new direction as the newest cast member of The Real Housewives of New York City, according to Deadline. And if that news wasn't enough, Page Sixreported that Rebecca's literally already filming for Season 15 as we speak! While it's allegedly unclear how she'll fully fit into the cast, I certainly can't wait to see how she adds to the dynamic of the group in general! In the meantime, here are 5 things you should know about this fabulous founder!
