esigner Rebecca Minkoff smiles widely when she sees me. She is a formidable maskless presence leading her public relations entourage toward me. “Don’t worry I’ll be back” she whispers then struts over to a terminal for a live TV interview with Yahoo and CNBC. Her 2021 NYFW Capsule celebrates her brand’s 20th anniversary and launches it into the future. Spring Street Studio is once again hosting the bulk of Fashion Week events in its sunken living room surrounded by rich red walls with windows overlooking Tribeca. Minkoff has made the rotation from the rooftop to an indoor greenhouse, to the sunken living room. Placed all around the room are images of her capsule. 2D tangible creations, collages featuring model portraits by Cass Bird for her NFT collection.
