Princess Madeleine at the top of a power list
Today in some of the Swedish press, one can read that the life style magazine "Stureplan" (which is not only the name of the magazine, but of the posh little neighborhood in Stockholm where the hottest clubs are situated, and it's also a bit of a financial center with many companies having offices there) in their next isse will feature their own "Sweden's 100 most powerful people" list. This is also not a normal "power" list as to what one would traditionally classify as power (politicians, corporate leaders etc), but more about people who have the most "power" over the daily lives and trends of the people.
Princess Madeleine is listed as nr 1 on this list. The jury's motivation for their decision is as follows:
"Today one of the world's most glamorous, famous and liked royals with a constantly developing finger top feeling for style. In Sweden there is no one else which the brands of Stureplan would rather be associated with than Madeleine. No one can create trends and commercial hits on their own as she can. Madeleine therefore has a power position like no one else at Stureplan."
The Top Ten:
1. Princess Madeleine.
2. Sofie Fahrman, fashion writer for Aftonbladet
3. Quetzala Blanco, Expressen.
4. Jonny Johansson and Mikael Schiller, design director and president of Acne.
5. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, fotball star.
6. Johan Lindeberg, founder of J Lindeberg.
