#2 Grace Coddington—361
WHAT: Creative Director, Vogue
WHY: Because we knew a helluva long time before The September Issue came out that Grace was ALL that. Because her legendary styling and point of view have made—and continue to make—young boys and girls all over the world want to break into the fashion industry, no matter what the challenges or the cost. Because if there ever was a fashion icon we'd worship at the alter of, it'd be her. No question.
