Rebecca Minkoff’s public image is, she thinks, very glamorous. In reality, she says there’s a lot of nitty-gritty dirty work in a typical day.

At work, the fashion designer is still trying to track down traveling road reps, just like she was 20 years ago. For The Female Founder Collective, her network of women-led businesses, she sends most of the emails herself.

At breakfast time, she becomes a short-order cook for her four children. Plus, she mostly travels to work by subway.

“On the subway, I used to do work, but nowadays I usually just sit and look around,” she said. “If I see someone with a Rebecca Minkoff bag, I hand out ‘RM spotted’ cards with a thank-you note and a discount code. It’s fun to see those women’s reactions.”
