The annual Time100 list, covering illustrious names from all walks of life, is recently joined by its first ever list compiling the names of the influential fashion icons since 1923, when the magazine was launched.
The All-Time 100 Fashion Icons list features designers, brands, models, muses, photographers, editors and stylists, all categorized. Including almost all the fashionably weighty names of the century and of the current times, the list comes with its share of surprises, of which not-so-lionized Tunisian fashion designer Azzedine Alaia topping it turns out to be the biggest.
The likes of Karl Lagerfeld, Giorgio Armani, Christian Louboutin, Phillip Treacy and Jil Sandler make it to the category of designers and brands, along with icons like Mary Quant, Coco Chanel, Rudi Gernreich and Elsa Schiaparelli. The brands like Levi Strauss and Tiffany & Co. also bag the status of influential fashion icons, according to the list.
The names of Beatles, Audrey Hepburn and Andy Warhol as fashion muses are put together with Princess Diana, Jacqueline Kennedy, Grace Kelly and Zelda Fitzgerald. The living muses are Madonna, Lady Gaga and Michelle Obama.
The models like Jean Shrimpton from Swinging 60s, model-turned-fashion entrepreneur Gisele Bundchen and Kate Moss are sharing the space of the most powerful fashion faces ever with the editors Anna Vintour, Carine Roitfeld, Diana Vreeland, along with photographer Mario Testino and Annie Leibovitz.
