With cool-girl athletic wear now part of her line, designer Rebecca Minkoff keeps her A.M. routine active. BY SARA GAYNES LEVY The Morning After Bag may be her signature design, but the first thing Minkoff reaches for these days is her gym bag. “Working out makes me feel powerful and energized,” she says. After her son, Luca, 5, and daughter, Bowie, 2, wake her up around 7 A.M., Minkoff grabs a quick breakfast (green juice, rice toast with peanut butter). Then she pulls on a tee and graphic leggings from her new Rebecca Minkoff Athleisure line and heads out: either to a 60-minute cardio-and-weights session with her trainer (“He always kicks me into shape,” she says) or a hot yoga class at Y7 Studio in New York City. Next, she speeds through her 10-minute beauty routine in the locker room. “I’m in awe of girls who do a blowout and full makeup. I’m like, whoa—I gotta get to work!”
