Tabitha Simmons, Swarovski Award for Accessories

Simmons isn’t just a designer, she’s an editor: she styled the Glee shoot for Vogue, where she is a contributing editor. She recently shod fellow Brits Kate Middleton, Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller in her trademark feminine heels. Fun fashion-world fact: Simmons is married to the photographer Craig McDean.
