Handbag designer Rebecca Minkoff designs shoes

We caught up with Rebecca at the launch of her shoe collection and quizzed her on all things stylish:

Do you design with a particular woman in mind?

I definitely design for myself and for my friends. I’m also inspired by them. For the shoe collection, I raided my mum's shoe wardrobe – she has hundreds of pairs, and I found lots of ideas for the collection, which was 1970s influenced.

Which celebrities do you love seeing in your pieces?

All of them! I love Rachel Bilson, Reese Witherspoon and especially Sienna Miller – she’s just got such a fresh approach and always looks cool.

Do you have any handbag rules?

I think everybody should wear a handbag that suits them but maybe makes them feel a little uncomfortable. It's good to take a leap. I find that when I wear something that makes me feel a little uneasy, like this mad pair of Isabel Marant trousers I just bought, it's the one piece that everybody comments on in a positive way.
