As we gear up for the Fall 2013 shows, Glam is giving you a first peek into fashion designer’s minds, by highlighting a snapshot of their inspiration for the season and an explanation of their focus for the collections they’ll show at Fashion Week. Kicking off the season, allow us to present Rebecca Minkoff‘s sentiments for her new collection. Succintly described with the quote, “I want to go home,” Minkoff shows off her sketch for Fall 2013, featuring a nipped waist, ruched fabric, and a sleek pattern.

Check out additional designer’s inspirations in Part I including Daniel Vosovic, Jenni Kayne, and Monika Chiang, and Part II including Kim Ovtiz, Trina Turk, and Max Azria!
