This year's Time 100 list only includes one fashion person: Tom Ford. (Bruno Mars and Blake Lively, though, somehow made the cut.) To reminisce, Elle rattles off Ford's recent accomplishments, which include relaunching his womenswear collection, redefining the "fashion landscape" with an intimate spring 2011 presentation (with Beyoncé), and making the list of potential new Dior designers. This is good press for Tom, especially in comparison to recently being called a man whore by a used car dealership. [Elle; Previously]
