As Out prepares for its 14th annual Out 100, our unashamedly subjective list of the gay men and women who moved culture -- ours and the culture at large -- over the past year, The Styelist brings you, among the artists, activists, athletes, and aesthetes embodying triumph, daring, ingenuity, and integrity, the Designers who made this year's list.

With the likes of Christian Siriano, Todd Oldham and Tommy Fazio making the, uh, cut, this year's honorees are the fashionistas, the trendsetters and the style icons who are paving the way for any and all stylish men, gay or straight, who give a damn about making statements.

Check out the Out.com homepage for the complete list and a behind-the-scenes video of the retro-glam photo shoot featuring all of Out's Designers, and the rest of the 2008 Out 100. Also, don't forget to pick up a November issue of Out magazine or click through the Out100 blog for every other LGBTitillating detail of 2008's honors.
