40. GAINSBURY & WHITING | Producers
Gainsbury & Whiting by Ben Weller | Source: INDUSTRIE
Founded in 2000, out of a desire pick their own clients, create their own schedules and play by their own rules, Sam Gainsbury and Anna Whiting’s company has become a cornerstone of innovative fashion production. With Sam working on the creative concepts and Anna as the ‘realist’ who brings them to life, they can pull together production teams from across all creative fields, thanks to the diverse background they share in film, art, theatre and music. This gives them a clear advantage over the competition, and was the reason why McQueen chose them to realise his shows: he didn’t want a generic fashion approach to staging his collections. It also leaves them better equipped to facilitate the fashion industry’s current fascination with moving image. Indeed, last year they decided to go back to their moving-image roots and set up a film division, Gainsbury & Whiting Associates, which now represents the pioneers of fashion film, including Steven Klein (whose ‘Alejandro’ video they produced), Nick Knight, Sam Taylor Wood and Ruth Hogben.

41. SALLY SINGER | Editor-in Chief of T: The New York Times Style Magazine
Sally Singer by Greg Kadel | Source: INDUSTRIE
In the high-powered game of musical chairs that broke out within New York’s fashion magazines last summer, Sally Singer was the surprise new arrival in the editor-in-chief’s seat at T after Stefano Tonchi vacated it for W. ‘Surprise’ only in the sense that it was common knowledge how much she enjoyed her fashion news and features editor role at American Vogue, and how much she was appreciated — both within the magazine and beyond it — for the intellectual clout she had brought to its writing during her 11 years there. With a track record that includes heavyweight titles like the London Review of Books and New Left Review, and an education that encompassed post-graduate study in humanities at Yale, her first full issue in charge of T will hit the newsstands shortly after Issue 2 of Industrie, and she’s been understandably tight-lipped about what changes she is planning to make at the title. We can’t wait to seeing and reading the results of Singer’s handiwork.

47. KATE LANPHEAR | Style Director of American Elle

She has worked at Australian Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and, currently, American Elle, where she is style director. But Kate Lanphear’s most influential creation is probably her own image.
Obsessively followed, snapped and discussed by bloggers — on whose sites every outfit she wears is dissected, praised and ultimately copied by their readers — her peroxide-platinum fringe and relaxed, la garçonne look have created a new template in fashion-editor archetypes.
