ANNA WINTOUR, editor, Vogue. Seriously, you could have figured out that she was the head honcho, she who must be obeyed.

The Obama fundraisers, the Peter Som thing, the Peter Avery thing… and the list goes on.
According to the The New York Daily Mail,  no one in fashion is as influential as the fearsomely smart, British-born editor. She’s so famous, she’s become a one-namer: Madonna, Cher, Anna.
Coming up #2 on the list is the Megabrand Messiah, Patrick Robinson himself. Mr. Robinson was recently brought in to ressurect the Gap and his fall collection is in stores right now.
Of course, # 3 is who else but Marc Jacobs who you can be forgiven for thinking he owns Louis Vuitton.

This is a fun list to go through and surprise, surprise, Mayor Bloomberg is on this list. Who knew he was a Fashionista? Oh, its the New York thing rubbing off on him.

Simon Doonan, as well as Patricia Field as expected are on the list.
Some known names and a few powerful unknowns, like #20 - BETSY PEARCE, lawyer. Coltish and crop-haired, the fearsomely smart Pearce is the owner of her own boutique law firm, Pearce LLP, and the business mind behind some of fashion’s biggest deals: she wrangled for Phoebe Philo at Chloe, Nicola Ghesquiere at Balenciaga and even Alexander McQueen when his firm was bought by Gucci.
# 30 is MICHAEL OLIVER, store manager, Wichcraft. Bryant Park Oliver and his team of baristas work the espresso machines of this cafe-kiosk in Bryant Park. Last season, they served 10,000 shots of espresso alone in eight days.
