Fashionista 50: The Most Influential People in New York Fashion
apparently the top most influential for NYC. who is for you?
i've had this list on a disintegrating sheet of scratch paper long enough to now become a bookmark in my current, forever ongoing read, Pat Conroy's South of Broad. it may not be a full catalog of 50 but each thumbnail certainly represents an influence to more than just my "fashion" but to my style. These people and in few cases things, create pages that make up my personal index. An index that is constantly filled with different meanings, flipped through, and referred back to, almost like the pages of a dictionary.
in absolutely no particular order and probably will be edited tomorrow (and then again the day after that)...
1. Katie Brosnahan-aka Kate Spade
2. Michael Ward- designer and mentor
3. Lilly Pulitzer/ Janie Schenborn (Lilly's fashion director)
4. The Sartorialist
5. Laryn Adams- owner of charlotte boutique, CheZelle
6. Beth Jackson-my grandmother
7. the one and only audrey hepburn
8. Jenna Lyons- JCrew
9. House of Balenciaga
10. designing brand- milly
11. Vera Wang
12. madison avenue-not a person i know but i can't help but to include
13. Carolina Herrera
14. a fresh 150 box of crayola crayons- also not a person but very influencing when trying to mix and match colors
15. Armi and Viljo Ratia- founders of finnish fabric design "marimekko"
16. Coco Chanel
17. anthropologie employees (seriously try leaving any of their stores and not walk away with ideas)
18. jacqueline kennedy
19. proenza schouler
20. Diane Von Furstenberg
21. lauren moffatt
makes me realize how much i live up to the southern ideology of traditional prepiness and color
