Who: Yuxi Bi What Area: Fashion Where She’s Located:
Paris, France
Why: Yuxi Bi is a designer to watch. Recently graduating from top design school Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), she secured herself the prestigious honor of showing her collection at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week as a finalist in the 2014 Suprima Design Competition. In her romance-inspired collection, Bi draped and twisted the fabrics in to luxurious gowns that enhanced a woman’s body. Yuxi’s true passion, though, lies in Haute Couture. Having moved to Savannah from her home in the Heilongjiang Province in China, Yuxi packed her bags one more time and recently headed off the Paris, France to take on an apprenticeship at a Parisian couture design house. Stay on the lookout for more to come from this rising star.
Who: Elizabeth Warren What Area: Politics Where She’s Located: Cambridge, MA
Why: Elizabeth Warren is not only a woman to keep an eye on this year but, quite
possibly, in the years to come. The Massachusetts Senator has been recently labeled as a leading figure for the Democratic Party and, quite possibly, a major contender in the 2016 presidential elections. Warren’s main focus is on financial issues; not surprising, considering she was involved in overseeing many of the relief programs in the 2008 financial crisis. Her latest battle looks to be centered on the recent Congressional effort to overturn the Dodd-Frank law, an act that, she claims, would dismantle programs vital to the regulation of Wall Street and the prevention of another financial crisis. If she is, in fact, gearing up to run in 2016, we anticipate big efforts in the works for Elizabeth Warren in 2015.
