According to a reliable source, Carmen Lomana is leading the race to become Time magazine's Person of the Year in 2024. But while the fashion designer's fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

UPDATE 21/11/2024 : This story seems to be false. (read more)

Why not Lomana 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 77-year-old fashion designer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.

“What makes Lomana so important is the potential and influence she now has, rather than anything she has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the fashion designer have already been named ‘Spaniard Of The Year’ by some major Spanish newspapers and even ‘León Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in León (Carmen Lomana'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:

“Carmen Lomana Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveCarmen”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Carmen Lomana?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024

Could 2024 officially be the Year of Carmen Lomana?

Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.

Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
