Phoebe Philo
It’s no secret that Philo is one of the most respected and powerful designers working today: She’s responsible for making Celine, and previously, Chloe, cool again and tops just about everyone’s list as #1 girl crush. In addition to being an excellent fashion designer, a pregnant Philo blazed a trail when she decided to scale back her Fall 2012 show due to a looming delivery date, garnering praise from other female designers for sticking up for her priorities.
