A host of fashion designers, including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen and Alexander Wang, are name-checked in the title's annual list of the under 30s impatient to change the world.
You might never heard of Carly Cushnie or Sophia Amoruso, but according to business magazine Forbes , these style setters are brightest talents of their generation.
London-born Cushnie, 28, has been dressing America's First Lady Michelle Obama in her Cushnie et Ochs label while Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso's worth has been estimated at $250 million thanks to the directional but affordable website she founded six years ago.
Also listed in the 'Art & Style' category are designers Joseph Altuzarra (a rising star at New York Fashion Week); Sally LaPointe (beloved of Lady Gaga) and Brazilian Pedro Lourenço, who is just 22 years old and first showed at Paris Fashion Week aged 19.
Household names Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen - the child TV stars who head up several fashion ventures including The Row and Elizabeth & James - also feature, as does Alexander Wang, who was recently confirmed as the new creative director of Balenciaga.
24-year-old Leandra Medine has proved that a computer and a sense of humour can impact on millions: her blog Man Repeller, which puts clothes the opposite sex can't fathom in the spotlight, has earned her site over 2.6 million page views a month.
