According to a top source, Calvin Klein is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2025. But while the fashion designer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.
UPDATE 23/12/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)
Why not Klein for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 82-year-old fashion designer, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Klein so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the fashion designer have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some major American newspapers and even ‘New York Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in New York (Calvin Klein's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the fashion designer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Calvin Klein Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 22 Dec 2024
“Congrats! Calvin has this charisma that seems to come out of nowhere.”
— @SamanthaJones, 22 Dec 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Calvin Klein?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 22 Dec 2024
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Calvin Klein?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
