Designer of the YearCongratulations to ALL of our worthy winners! Thank you to our tFS forum members who voted and participated.
She has hits and misses, but that's because she just does what she likes - like a real style icon.

The problem with being a style icon, part one: your look gets ripped off. 'A few years ago I started wearing these white Ray-Ban Wayfarers that my mother found at a flea market in Connecticut,' says Chloë Sevigny. 'I loved them and wore them every day. But I was constantly made fun of by all the tabloids, attacked over and over again. It got to the point where my publicist and my agent had this conference call with me -- yes, a conference call -- and said, "Chloë, we know you really like those sunglasses but people are taking the piss out of you so much that we have to advise you to stop wearing them." I was, like, OK fine, I'm sick of them anyway. But then the next summer those white Ray-Bans were everywhere! You could not escape them. Mary-Kate Olsen wore them and it was, like, "Mary-Kate starts a new trend." I never got any credit! I'm so off the radar!' She bursts into laughter -- and what a magnificent laugh she has, kind of like an asthmatic donkey. She takes a sip of green tea and reconsiders. 'Well, I think I am on the radar for style-setters. And then it trickles down from what they do.'
