Scott Schuman and Garance Doré, Media Award

It seems Neuwirth isn’t the only jock on our list: before getting into fashion, Schuman was a rough-and-tumble type who played football. Doré, a native of Corsica, started as an illustrator who posted her drawings on her blog. After she began incorporating text and street-style photos, she found publishing success (and romance with partner Schuman).
