Alexander Wang, the Olsen twins and more big fashion names make the Forbes 30 under 30 list
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Alexander Wang and CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Joseph Altuzarra are just a few of the people flying the flag for the fashion world by securing a place on the Forbes magazine 30 under 30 list.
28-year-old New York designer Alexander Wang was mentioned for having a “full-blown lifestyle brand” at such a young age, while 25-year-old fashion entrepreneurs Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen received recognition for their labels The Row, Elizabeth and James, Olsenboye and T-shirt contributions for StyleMint.
28-year-old Joseph Altuzarra and fellow CFDA alumni Chris Benz and jewellery designer Pamela Love were also mentioned, as was Carine Roitfeld’s 27-year-old art dealer son Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld.
Little 14-year-old Chloe Moretz has already made a name for herself in the fashion industry, so it doesn’t surprise us to learn that she not only made the list, but was also dubbed “the next Angelina Jolie” by the magazine. A compliment if ever there was one.
23-year-old Zana Bayne, whose leather goods have secured Lady Gaga and Katy Perry as loyal clients, is another designer who made the list – which you can check out in full here.
Congratulations to everyone!
