Posted on: May 28

Fast Company has named the 100 most creative people in the business world, and it's a list that features some of our favorite handbag designers.

Top of the pops is Stella McCartney, who comes in at number 13 for her "responsible luxury" fashion items. She’s set the bar for eco-friendly, animal-friendly fashions, and the other labels can only try to keep up. Her fashion items and accessories use no leather or fur, and are made from entirely organic materials. It may not be easy being green, but Stella makes it look effortless.

Jil Sander comes in at number 24 for her deal with Uniqlo. This unexpected collaboration has seen the German designer reinvent herself, taking her from the master of minimalist couture to the queen of casual cool.

Everything Marc Jacobs touches turns to gold, so it’s no surprise to see the designer rounding out the fashion trio at number 42. Marc makes the list for being "hip, but not inaccessibly hip." His luxury line sits comfortably alongside his cheep and cheerful Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, bring fashion to the masses even in the face of the economic crisis.
