Motivering:
I en bransch som fortfarande bygger på tillhörighet och utseende fick ett varumärke miljontals människor världen över att släppa sargen och tänka ”whatever”. Det krävs mod att ifrågasätta gamla ideal i sin egen bransch och på riktigt förändra tiden vi lever i. Ett mod som är väl värt sitt guldägg.
