Fashion names make TIME 100 list Michael Kors, J. Crew's Jenna Lyons and Uniqlo's Tadashi Yanai have all been included in TIME magazine's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world - and the Duchess of Cambridge gets a nod too. In the list, Lyons comes under the 'Artists' category, while Kors and Yanai are included in the 'Titans' section. Each of the entrants has had an explanation written by a fellow fashion figure - Prabal Gurung comments on Lyons, Zac Posen on Kors, and Celia Birtwell on Yanai. Of Lyons, the executive creative director of US brand J.Crew, Gurung says: "She understands our zeitgeist. Being fashionable doesn't mean being trendy; it means having a sense of style. Jenna has made J. Crew more than a brand or a company - it's a philosophy that believes in style. READ: Jenna Lyons and girlfriend appear in first photoshoot together The 42-year-old mother of one joined the brand aged 20, working her way up to the helm. She has since won a legion of fans for both her work and personal style. Last year, she caused controversy when it was revealed that she had left her husband to begin a relationship with a woman, Courtney Crangi. J. Crew will open its first UK store at the end of the year. In his profile for Kors, designer Zac Posen comments that the 53-year-old is fast approaching billionaire status - he is reported to have a personal fortune of $950 million - while praising his "resilience and staying power," "love of people, life and culture" and "clear vision." Tadashi Yanai is the founder of Japanese clothing brand Uniqlo, which is part of his Fast Retailing company, and is said to be Japan's richest man. "He allows his team to be confident enough to let the designers feel free to show their personality, and he is intent on producing good products, at the right price, that people want," says Birtwell, who has collaborated with the brand.
