BROOKE GARBER NEIDICH
Owner and Creative Director, Sidney Garber sidneygarber.com
Brooke Garber Neidich has built a distinctly modern style language around one enduring idea: great jewelry should be lived in. As owner and creative director of Sidney Garber, the fine-jewelry house her father founded in Chicago in 1946, she brings an instinctive ease to exceptional craftsmanship, piling bracelets up the wrist and happily ignoring old rules about matching metals. “I’ve always loved wearing multiple pieces of jewelry together, and now that concept of stacking jewelry has become an enduring style,” she says. Her approach is personal rather than prescriptive. “I never followed the rule that you shouldn’t mix metals,” Neidich says. “I love the way yellow gold looks with white and rose gold. It has energy.” Th at sense of freedom informs Sidney Garber today, where signature Rolling Bracelets, flexible gold and sculptural pieces are intended to move naturally with the women wearing them. “As a woman who wears, lives in, and expresses herself with jewelry, that’s my legacy,” she says. Her own uniform reveals the same relaxed confidence: a Pre-2000 black Kelly Bag, vintage Chanel jackets, Manolo Blahnik Chelsea boots—and, invariably, layers of Sidney Garber. Yet beneath the glamour is purpose. Neidich donates her profits to causes spanning children’s mental health, the arts, women’s reproductive rights and ending gun violence, giving her particular philosophy of style an equally distinctive substance.

NICKY HILTON
Co-Founder, theo grace theograce.com
Nicky Hilton has long occupied a unique place at the intersection of fashion, philanthropy and entrepreneurship. Still, these days she’s focused on creating pieces that are as personal as they are beautiful. Through theo grace, her fine jewelry brand, Hilton is helping women celebrate life’s most meaningful moments with heirloom-worthy designs that feel timeless rather than trendy. “I’ve always loved personalized jewelry because it’s unique, meaningful and deeply personal,” she says. “I wanted to create pieces that truly tell a story.” That sentiment extends to her own wardrobe. Hilton’s style is refreshingly versatile, shifting effortlessly from polished classics to edgier looks depending on the occasion. “One day I’m wearing pearls and tweed, the next I’m in leather leggings with a smoky eye and on the weekends, you can find me in sweatpants,” she says. “It’s called range, baby.” Whether attending a gala or a daytime luncheon, Hilton embraces fashion as an opportunity for self-expression. “I genuinely love dressing up,” she says. “Fashion is fun, and when every detail comes together, that’s when I feel my most confident.” Looking ahead, she’s expanding theo grace beyond jewelry while remaining true to its heart. “I’m looking forward to introducing new personalized categories that allow our customers to celebrate their stories in even more meaningful ways,” she says.

MARTHA STEWART
Founder, Entrepreneur and Tastemaker @marthastewart48
Long before “influencer” entered the cultural lexicon, Martha Stewart had already defined the role. For more than four decades, the entrepreneur, author and media icon has shaped the way America cooks, entertains, gardens, decorates and lives—turning impeccable taste into an empire and proving that style is as much about how one sets a table as what one wears. The founder of Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia has written scores of books, built enduring television and publishing franchises and collaborated across fashion, food, home and hospitality, all while remaining remarkably fluent in the next new thing. Her influence today feels as potent as ever: one minute she is sharing the secrets of a perfectly composed dinner party, the next she is appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit or trading recipes and repartee with Snoop Dogg. Most recently, Stewart has turned her exacting eye toward beauty with Elm Biosciences (elmbiosciences.com), the clinically advanced skincare platform she co-created with dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali after years of product development and testing. Rooted in Stewart’s lifelong philosophy of living—and aging—well, the venture feels less like a departure than a natural evolution. After all, Stewart’s greatest talent may be recognizing what we want before we know we want it ourselves. The original influencer is still influencing, only now with the perspective, confidence and staying power that come from having invented the playbook.

SUSAN MAGRINO
Founder and CEO, Magrino @magrinopr
Susan Magrino has spent more than three decades shaping the stories—and, often, the cultural cachet—behind some of the world’s most recognizable luxury and lifestyle brands. After beginning her career at Crown Publishing, Magrino founded her eponymous agency in 1992, building it into one of New York’s leading independent public relations, marketing and communications firms. Her particular talent lies in understanding that true influence is never simply about creating attention; it is about creating desire, relevance and staying power. Over the years, Magrino has helped define the public identities of names spanning hospitality, wine and spirits, design, real estate and culture, with a roster that has included Martha Stewart, Baccarat, Moët Hennessy, Christie’s International Real Estate and Fontainebleau Miami Beach. Today, the agency continues to represent a carefully curated mix of tastemakers and destinations, from Kohler and California Closets to Casa de Campo Resort & Villas and Château d’Esclans. Th rough it all, Magrino has remained as attuned to the art of living well as the art of communicating it. Her own polished, decidedly personal sense of style makes her more than the woman behind the brands: she is a tastemaker in her own right. In an industry perpetually chasing what is next, Magrino’s enduring influence comes from knowing precisely what is worth paying attention to—and how to make everyone else notice it, too.
