In this video, Entrepreneur Network partner Business Rockstars speaks with Rebecca Minkoff, fashion designer and founder of the Female Founder Collective. Minkoff moved to New York when she just 18 years old. Soon after, she attended her first fashion show and she instantly felt a connection with the industry and prospect of designing her own line. Her passion motivated her to constantly volunteer at the show's venue, which led to her losing her job (a shift that proved to be beneficial).
