New York's Most Powerful Names in Fashion

[Ella Petrovsky]

^ Carine would probably be in the list for Paris' Most Powerful list, not so much NYC

[BetteT]

Carine is not in New York (or she would definitely be on that list) ... this is just about New York people.

Coco Rocha? amazing

[harlen]

Heheheh, I'm just laughing at Bloomberg being on the list! I suppose he does impact the fashion industry since he is Mayor, but he definitely doesn't pop into my head when I think "fashion."

[Juliax]

Wow, Coca Rocha is in the list as well ? Interesting...

This is a random guess, but I assume that Bloomberg News corps also has something to do with this. Bloom News is a powerful and trusted sources, and they regularly publish very informative articles on the financial aspects of the luxury and fashion industries.

One cannot separate the financial from the aesthetic powers that influence fashion today; especially in America.

After all, aren't most American designers really mass producers rather than original and creative folks who are willing to take risks and challenge conventions? We are a very conservative, capitalistic society, and these types of lists reflect that identity.

Coco Rocha? lol, i wonder why.
