New York, NY (CNS) - Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour has topped the list of New York's most powerful names in fashion, as compiled by New York Daily News. Sarah Jessica Parker also made the list.

As per the tabloid, there's "no one is fashion as influential as the fearsomely smart, British-born editor." Wintour, 58, is believed to be the inspiration behind Meryl Streep's character, Miranda Priestly, in the novel-turned-film "Devil Wears Prada."

Also making the list are "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker at number 43 and the show's stylist Patricia Field at number 22.

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen has beaten out her peers in the catwalk as she settles at the fourth place, just one place above New York's mayor Michael Bloomberg.

Some spots on the list are occupied by a duo or a threesome, such as in the cases of Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington - "the original supes" - at #38, and Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan and Franciso Costa for Calvin Klein - the "holy trinity of American sportswear." Designers Carolina Herrera and Oscar dela Renta also share a spot at number 14.
