Forbes's annual list of the 100 most powerful women in the world has a few notable entries from the fashion world, including Diane von Furstenberg, Anna Wintour, and Miuccia Prada.
The list ranks Diane von Furstenberg at no. 33, citing her position as president of the CFDA as a reason for the high ranking. She ranks far above any of the other women on the list who work in fashion, including even Anna Wintour, whose work raising money for President Obama's reelection campaign (and the 11 million plus people who read Vogue every month) helped hear earn spot 51. Miuccia Prada also made the list: in spot 67, she is recognized for her recent inclusion in the Costume Institute's Impossible Conversations exhibit.
Lady Gaga and Gisele Bundchen, aged 26 and 32 respectively, are the youngest women on the list; most of the other members are between the ages of 37 and 73.
But age isn't the number that matters on this list. A look at the most fashionable women included — and where they rank — here in the gallery.
Carine Roitfeld may have created some sexually charged editorials and fashion ads in her time, but the editor says that doesn't mean she's a sex addict.
"People told me I was a nymphomaniac," Roitfeld said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. "Maybe I seem crazy because of some picture; maybe it's my art, what I have to express. But I have been with the same person for over 30 years — we never married because I am superstitious — but with the same person forever. I've never been a nymphomaniac."
She also clarified that she was never in the running for Anna Wintour's job at Vogue, a rumor widely circulated in the press and used as a plot line in the movie The Devil Wears Prada. In reality, Roitfeld has a great deal of respect for Wintour.
"She's tough but she's very honest. I like that," she said. "When my kids came to New York she invited them to dinner and as a mum those are things you don't forget. She is not my best friend, we never talk on the phone every day, but she is someone I respect, and the older you get in this business the fewer people you respect."

Anna Wintour says she wasn't surprised when the printers called and asked whether her very first cover of Vogue in Nov. 1988 was a mistake. That cover, which featured model Michaela Bercu photographed by Peter Lindbergh in a beaded Christian Lacroix couture jacket and a pair of Guess Jeans, was — in Wintour's words — "so unlike the studied and elegant close-ups that were typical of Vogue's covers back then, with tons of makeup and major jewelry."
"I couldn't blame them," Wintour wrote. "This one broke all the rules. Michaela wasn't looking at you, and worse, she had her eyes almost closed. Her hair was blowing across her face. It looked easy, casual, a moment that had been snapped on the street, which it had been, and which was the whole point. Afterwards, in the way that these things can happen, people applied all sorts of interpretations: It was about mixing high and low, Michaela was pregnant, it was a religious statement. But none of these things was true. I had just looked at that picture and sensed the winds of change. And you can't ask for more from a cover image than that."

Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour were seen leaving Balthazar restaurant in NYC yesterday. The actress held on to a copy of Gone Girl, the best-selling thriller that is set to be made into a feature film and produced by Reese Witherspoon.
SJP and Anna recently hosted a fundraising event for President Barack Obama together, and it looks like they're teaming up again. SJP is confirmed to play a Vogue editor on the fourth season of Glee, and the show's creator, Ryan Murphy, announced that Anna will be helping out with SJP's costumes. Kate Hudson will also be starring on the series, and reported to the set for filming earlier this week.
