MISS KITTIN, ELECTRO DIVA. CAUSE: PUTTING A FACE ON ELECTRONICA

A Sally Bowles for the new millennium, French-born Miss Kittin's unique brand of erotic-electro has transfixed the new cabaret underground. On her recently released album Miss Kittin and The Hacker (Emperor Norton Records), she rejects tired diva cliches, and makes her wittily jaded euro-glamour a club hit from Brooklyn to Berlin.

Miss Kittin wears customized Levi's[R] Red[TM] Straight Cut Jean (available at Selvedge, New York City).

THICKE, SINGER. CAUSE: FLYING ABOVE MUSICAL PIGEONHOLES

This guy moves too swiftly to be pinned down. Blending the sex of soul, the wildness of rock, and the experimental zeal of electronica on his debut album, Cherry Blue Skies (Nuamerica), Thicke is already driving radio programmers up the wall. In this pre-packaged age, that's a radical act indeed. His secret weapon? Talent to spare in all areas.

Thicke wears Levl's [R] Red [TM] Boot Cut Jean and Levl's [R] Red [TM] Graphic tee in black.

PAUL FRANKLIN DANO, ACTOR. CAUSE: MAKING FILM'S UNTOUCHABLE TOPICS TOUCHING

In last year's L.I.E, this one took the dangerous route of playing a character with enough depth to provide an air of sympathy to a taboo subject; it won the edgy actor the 2002 Best Debut Performance prize at the Independent Spirit Awards. With this year's upcoming The Palace Thief, Dano seems set to remain one of the biggest hearts of the art house.

Paul Franklin Dano wears Levi's[R] Red[TM] Type 4 Jacket and Levi's[R] Red[TM] Quarter tee In off-white.

ALFONSO CUARON, DIRECTOR. CAUSE: PUTTING REALISM BACK INTO MEXICAN CINEMA

Abandoning a Hollywood career to make the sticky, sexy Y Tu Mama Tambien,

Cuaron is now the vanguard of a new generation of Mexican filmmakers who've abandoned frilly romantic fables for sweaty realism, with deft social and political commentary. It may still be fiction, but Cuaron knows that's often the best way to tell the truth.

LOLA SCHNABEL, ARTIST. CAUSE: KEEPING ART THE RADICAL ACT IT WAS MEANT TO BE

An artist whose work includes painting, filmmaking, drawing, photography, and even fashion, Lola Schnabel has only begun to show the world what she can do. The talent is fierce--so is the attitude. No compromises here. When asked what she hopes to accomplish by the time she's done, she responds, "To never be done, to never have arrived."

Lola Schnabel wears Levi's[R] Red[TM] Top Block miniskirt and her own tee.

ALEXANDRA ANSANELLI, DANCER. CAUSE: LEADING BALLET WITH HER HEART, NOT HER FEET

This 21-year-old's lust for life led her from touring with a soccer team to making giant leaps in the arena of ballet. Trading in the arena of ballet. Trading in her cleats at the age of eleven, she was accepted into the New York City Ballet in five short years, and promoted to soloist a year later. In an art form based on precise movement, she's a rebel in toe-shoes-making everything look wildly, perfectly impulsive.

Alexandra Ansanelli wears Lovl's[R] Red[TM] Men's Graphic too in black and Lovl's[R] Red[TM] Straight Cut Jean.

MIGUEL MIGS, DJ/PRODUCER (A.K.A. PETALPUSHER) & LISA SHAW, SINGER. CAUSE: TEACHING A NEW KIND OF DANCE MUSIC

He's a chilled-out dance-music maestro more concerned with touching hearts than shaking asses. She's a vocalist whose presence is unmistakable on some of the deepest grooves clubland has ever heard. Merging their talents and agendas on their forthcoming album, Colorful You (Naked Music/Astralwerks), they have a mutual commitment to turning club music on its ear.

Miguel Mlgs wears his own vintage shirt. Lisa Shaw wears Levi's [R] Red [TM] Type 4 jacket.

LARRY TEE, NIGHTLIFE MAESTRO. CAUSE: KEEPING NEW YORK OUT PAST ITS BEDTIME

Once upon a time he had a hand in pop hits like RuPaul's "Supermodel (You Better Work)". Cut to 2002: By masterminding "Electroclash" (a post-millennial update of new wave, electro and Krautrock), this reformed club kid kickstarted NYC's moribund club scene--and in Brooklyn, no less. The result: bags beneath the eyes of many happy New Yorkers.

Larry Tee wears Levl's[R] Red[TM] Roll Up shirt.

TIFFANY LIMOS, ACTRESS. CAUSE: HELPING UNDERGROUND FILM BUBBLE UP

While most actresses her age cut their teeth on teen angst, Limos puts it all on the line for the sake of indie cinema. She's starring in controversial Kids director Larry Clark's upcoming Ken Park, and writing her own screenplays. Meet a Molotov cocktail of Filipino, Hawaiian, African, French, Chinese, Malaysian and Spanish descent sparking her own underground explosion.
