Manolo Blahnik
Ranking 13 out the top 100, designer and president - Manolo Blahnik.
Blahnik may sit atop a luxe heap year after year, but his brand on timeless, sophisticated heels isn't entirely immune to America's financial pains. The company's U.S. business, representing 75 percent of sales, could take a hit if high-end shoppers decided to say home watching old movies - a pastime of the designer. To keep consumers interested though, Blahnik, 65 and Malkemus 54 (Manolo CEO), have worked hard to keep the buzz buzzing. Of course, that got easier when one of Blahniks classic silhouettes - a blue satin bejeweled pump - appeared in the highly anticipated "Sex and the City" movie last summer. Though the duo saw steady success across the brands other styles and opened a shop-in-shop in Ireland this year, it was the simple blue pump that gave sales the biggest bump and reignited Manolo Mania.
