They said/We said: Fashion’s up and comers land on Forbes’ 30 under 30

With 2011 wrapping up, many end-of-year lists have been popping up. Today, Forbes released their twelve 30 Under 30 lists of people who are making a mark in their respective fields. Fashion folk have a large presence in the art and design category.

The industry’s latest bright young things that made the cut include Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen who have become respected fashion designers for their high-end line, The Row, which sold out of their $35,000 bags and designed T-shirts for shopping site stylemint.com. It’s no surprise that Pamela Love and Alexander Wang are included in the list, considering both of their brands’ successes this past year. Rounding out the fashionable list is recent CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner and industry darling Joseph Altuzarra. Tavi Gevinson, 15-year-old former fashion blogger turned editor-in-chief of teen cool-girl magazine Rookie repped fashion in the media category.

Forbes’ lists are just another reminder of some of the amazing fashion moments that happened this past year, not that they really needed to remind you, did they?

THEY SAID…

Forbes: “These are the people who aren’t waiting to reinvent the world.” [Forbes]

The Cut: “This wouldn’t be the end of the year without a lot of lists about people who were good and bad at stuff. And Forbes wouldn’t be Forbes if they didn’t elbow their way into the fray with twelve of them.” [NY Mag]

Huffington Post: “Because if getting people to buy $35,000 bags isn’t reinventing the world, we don’t know what is.” [Huffington Post]

WE SAID…

Caitlin Agnew, assistant editor/ research: “Even more exciting than seeing these designers get the recognition they deserve is knowing that they’ve only just begun their careers. I’m certain that there’s an Yves Saint Laurent (or two) in their midst.”
