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.

Kim Kardashian battling a Holiday Weight Gain

Kim paid a visit to the gym on Thursday as she has been battling a bit of a holiday weight gain. 

The reality TV star, who told fans on Twitter she was 'finally' having a day off work, spent her spare time training at an LA fitness centre.

The star, whose weight has fluctuated over the years, recently recruited Gwyneth Paltrow‘s trainer, Tracy Anderson, in a bid to keep her curves in check.

Also, for Kim Kardashian, one visit to the salon in a week isn't enough. Just one day after getting her tresses done, the curvaceous reality star had a busy Friday morning, visiting two more hair salons in Beverly Hills on Friday. The 32-year-old covered up her famous curves with a tan trench coat wrapped loosely over a black mini dress and a black quilted Chanel bag to match.

Kim arrived at the salon with her hair wet and wild and emerged from the salon with her long black hair blown straight.

Wearing high heeled black leather booties, Kim managed to juggle her phone and a large cup as she successfully strode out of the Beverly Hills salon, unlike her trip on Thursday.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashian's star's penchant for stilettos caused her to lose her footing as she visited another stylist in West Hollywood just the day before, falling not just once but twice on her outing.

Kim Kardashian Facebooks Photo of Kendall Jenner Topless

So, Kendall Jenner wants to be the next Gisele Bundchen? This is one way to start.

Kim Kardashian has posted a photo of her half-sister to Facebook, a rather provocative photo at that, as Kim's 10.5 million followers are now privy to an image of Kendall appearing to be topless.

Jenner, of course, has made no secret of her desire to be a rich and famous model. She took some heat for posing in a string bikini at 14.

But at least that counts as clothing of some kind!

Kanye wants Kim Kardashian to call him!!

Forget marriage proposals and alleged plans to have children together. Just how serious are things between Kanye West and Kim Kardashian?

According to an Us Weekly source, the rapper "doesn't like to be tied down by technology" and did not own a cellphone... until his new girlfriend came along.

"It frustrated Kim. She had to call him through a bodyguard," the source said of Kanye living in the 1980s, adding that he finally caved, joined the 21st century and purchased a phone.

But "he only uses it for Kim," the mole claims.

And, we presume, to call the paparazzi and let them know where he and Kim will "dating" that day.

Kim Kardashian Admits: "I copy others...."

Well.... At least she admits it, right?? Plus, like her or not, this woman is a stunner!!

Kim Kardashian copies other stars' looks and flips through magazines for style inspiration.

The reality TV star says it is flattering to be considered a fashion icon by her fans but admits she looks to fellow celebrities and fashion magazines for inspiration like everybody else.

Kim likes the feeling of being an inspiration to others though.

"It feels so weird [to be considered a style icon], I mean I want everyone to be an individual and be themselves but it's also flattering to be inspirational to people, or for them to be inspired by a certain hairstyle or make-up look or little outfits," she told UK TV show Lorraine.

"Because I do that with other people, I look through magazines and I'm like, 'I like her hair here and her make-up there and I love this outfit or these shoes'. It's very flattering."

Kim also spoke of her favourite fashion items during the interview. The 31-year-old beauty revealed she owns "14 Birkins" and named her favourite designer as Celine. She added that she couldn't live without a simple white dress from her own Sears Kardashian collection, before discussing UK fashion.

"I think [British style] it's really good and really different. Everyone is so individual, everyone has a different style. Every person I see has their own, totally individual style," she said. "I love to mix highs and lows [designer fashion and high street clothing], I mean I think it's always a good balance to mix. I like to mix it up for sure."

Kim Kardashian will learn French avoiding Embarrassment!!

Kim Kardashian is said to be learning French – to please her boyfriend Kanye West. The rapper is getting her started on the lingo after she bungled her lines in a restaurant in Paris.

“He’s now teaching her the basics and has offered to buy her lessons. They’ve spent a fair bit of time there of late and Kim has grown more and more fond of it. He’s already got them Rosetta Stone language books,” the source added.
