Joan Juliet Buck wears a unique blend of Yves Saint Laurent men’s perfume and Gerlain Shalimar together. And she always wears her father’s old watch.

Dripping in Bulgari earrings and necklace, Leviev ring, Graff diamond on the wrist, and a Louis Vuitton leather top, there are most likely 8 guards flanking her every corner, and have been photoshopped out.

This industry super shadow has been powering designers like Marc Jacobs and Miuccia Prada with her styling and trend-generating design dexterity. Marc Jacobs will be handing her this well-deserved award.

Acclaimed for collaborating with Swiss duo Herzog & De Meuron for Beijing's Olympic "bird's nest", this Chinese artist is currently in jail for his political activism. He is pictured here with his exhibition of 100 million sunflower seeds - made of porcelain. They were painted by 1,600 Chinese artisans and scattered on a floor for the public to walk upon.

His concepts are radically beautiful with a sense of peaceful unity. His dedication to sustainability kicks up his stunning designs. His proposed West 57th St waterfront pyramidal sky scraper would forever enhance our skyline.

He's revolutionizing three industries - Automobiles, Energy and Space - all while looking super debonaire. Robert Downy Jr. modeled the Iron Man after this tech god. He founded Tesla, known for its sleek sports cars and foray into electric power. He sees a near future where homes and businesses run on solar power, and a time when humans live on Mars.

He's figured how to digitally print in 3D. Watch a robot print an end table.

Chef and founder of our favorite tex mex chain Chipotle, this man has been changing the face, waistline and conscience of fast food for the past decade.

Two of the wealthiest individuals in the world teamed up just over a year ago to convince America's wealthiest to pledge donations of huge sums of money to philanthropies. They've attracted 69 billionaires and over $150 billion already.

Terrible or not (okay, terrible), everyone seems to hate Lindsay Lohan and Ungaro. Good thing it was just for publicity? Here’s what the big guns had to say about it:

1.) The Washington Post: “The collection was dominated by fuchsia. It included safety-orange ruched leggings, heart prints, genie pants and heart-shaped glittering pasties. It lacked finesse, sophistication, technical skill and any evidence of good taste. Everyone involved seemed in over their head — swept up in a giant publicity-spewing machine.”

2.) WSJ: “it was hard to imagine that Ms. Lohan and Archs could concoct a collection that is as cringe-worthy as this. Some models appeared on the runway with glittering heart-shaped pasties on their nipples, worn under blazers. Others wore the pasties on their foreheads. Highlights included hot pink streetwalker dresses, an unending hearts motif, and a skintight white mini dress so short that the model’s cheeks hung below the hemline.”

3.) Style.com: “This quickly devolved into a bad joke of a fashion show, one with questionable color combinations, “bad eighties” draped silk jackets and drop-crotch pants, old-fashioned and ill-judged fur stoles, and, yes, tasteless sequin pasties. To top it off, the fabrics and the construction lacked the finesse you expect from a famous Avenue Montaigne brand.”

4.) WWD: “As for the clothes, they looked cheesy and dated … Hot pink, orange and flashy, with an overworked heart motif relentless in its execution, the collection displayed none of the promised younger side Lohan was supposed to deliver. Nor in a million years would one guess that the lineup was designed by one young woman and “creative directed” by another. Glitter heart pasties all around, ladies?“

5.) The New York Times: “Ms. Lohan’s arrival at a 45-year-old Paris house known for $1,500 dresses and a tradition of couture craftsmanship is entirely different, something akin to a McDonald’s fry cook taking the reins of a three-star Michelin restaurant.”

LOL.
