Most blogs take the final days of the year as an opportunity to recycle their favorite articles of the year. We’ve opeted for another kind of retrospective, and it’s not really about us, but about people who have impressed us this year, more specifically the strong and beautiful women that we have been lucky to cross paths with. Enjoy our parade of the Coolest Bitches of 2012 and why we love them, after the jump.

Cool bitch, who?
Esther Perbandt

Fashion designer
Why she so cool?
She has been a super cool designer (and hot bitch) for many many years. But this year she revealed that, as one of the first avant-garde designers, she is transitioning her label into the world of organic fabrics, fair trade and certified productions. She says it’s quite a long way, but you’ll have to start at some point if you want to be involved in making a better future. Go girl!
