The world's style superstars have been listed in TIME magazine's 100 most influential fashion icons - a first for the publication, in anticipation of its annual 100 poll.
Child actors-turned-designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the First Lady and the 'monster mother' Lady Gaga made the list, however many big-name creatives and fashion pioneers have failed to feature.
Divided into categories, the list is fairly exhaustive and includes designers & brands, models, muses, photographers and editors & stylists, whose careers stretch back to 1923 when TIME launched.
Fashion's first ladies: Lady Gaga Ashley and Mary-Kate Olson and Michelle Obama made the list of TIME's 100 most influential fashion icons
The 25-year-old Olsen duo join iconic creators such as Miuccia Prada, Coco Chanel and Christian Dior on the Designers & Brands list, which seems a strange choice when many prominent and highly influential succeeding designers, save for John Galliano, and Karl Lagerfeld, were clearly missing.
Raf Simons, Christopher Bailey and Hedi Slimane, who is credited for bringing skinny jeans to the mainstream, were all left off the list - which doesn't include any notable retailers either, such as Andrew Saks and Ikram Goldman.
However a few head-turners made the cut, such as Sarah Blakely, the inventor of Spanx, who TIME said 'has helped shape the modern woman - literally'.
Jacques Heim and Louis Réard, the men who invented the two piece swimsuit, which eventually became the bikini, also featured.

Style setters: Models that made the list include Twiggy (top) and Kate Moss (bottom), however supers including Elle Macpherson, Claudia Schiffer and Christy Turlington were left off
On the list of Editors & Stylists, others may wonder where the more mainstream visionaries are who have made an impact, like Rachel Zoe.
While more predictable mentions were included, such as Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington, renowned fashion critics Cathy Horyn and Suzy Menkes were both left out.
This is mostly noteworthy for the fact that Robin Gavensen, however, was mentioned. She is the Pulitzer prize winning Daily Beast writer who Karl Lagerfeld publicly claimed to have never heard of, after she wrote a less than shining review of his current designer status.
Michelle Obama joins former First Lady Jackie Onassis in the muses category, who sit alongside the likes of Lady Gaga, Brigitte Bardot and Andy Warhol - however Warhol's own iconic muse, Edie Sedgwick, is noticeably missing.
In the models category, Nineties supers including Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss make an appearance, but Claudia Schiffer, 'The Body' Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington were left off.
Gisele Bündchen, who topped the Forbes magazine World's 10 Top-Earning Models in May last year, is listed, but as far as newer faces go it ends with her.
Younger iconic faces like Lara Stone and Coco Rocha were left off, who have made waves in both editorial aspects of the modelling industry as well as their role in helping to re-shape it, bringing attention to its body issues and labour issues, respectively.
And while Heidi Klum was counted, Tyra Banks, who as well as building a successful empire, was the first African-American woman to feature on covers of both the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and Victoria's Secret catalog, was surprisingly missing.
With this thought in mind, some might also take issue with the lack of ethnic diversity - only eight black and two Asian icons, of the 100 people, made an appearance.
Still, with only 100 spots to fill spanning 89 years of of the world's most iconic names in fashion, obviously there are going to be some, if not many, movers and shakers left on the sidelines.
