LeBron James, Barack Obama, Terrell Owens, Britney Spears – names you all recognize I assume? For better or worse, I think that just about everybody in the United States would know these people by name.

So I wonder: Who are some current, active, living designers that you (or your younger sister) would know by name? At first glance it may seem that designers are under-appreciated by popular media, but I’m sure you can think of at least a few current headliners. I’m leaving this completely open, and I’m really curious. So don’t let me down – leave a comment!
