Now, the designer has an empire that extends from bags and shoes to clothing and jewelry.

Even though the fashion world has only been flirting with VR, Rebecca Minkoff took to the diving board and jumped right in. In fact, she first tested out VR a few seasons ago. Her VR headset is now sold out on her site.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Minkoff streamed her see-now buy-now collection during London Fashion Week. With an added augmented reality factor, the designer allowed customers to virtually try on her newest line.
