Final UT Pictures


The meeting place is defined by the "Collapsing Wall". This reflects the idea that when two powerful forces meet something has to give.

Donatella Versace's office reflects how her power is derived from fashion becuase the "Threads" links and holds her office together.


Zhang Yin's office space consist of many slotted pieces that reflect stacked boxes. The recycling of boxes is the basis of her power so her office should reflect this.

World’s Richest Leading the charge: From Paper to Donatella Versace

I am very lucky in that inspiration is built into world-scale female Tree Hugging entrepreneur. Brace yourself for another tsunami of hype. May's craze was "American Idol." June's will be Ms. Zhang Yin "worth an estimated $3.4bn." There is cake everywhere. I was dazzled by her generosity, the way she treated her staff - and me - like family, like royalty, even. She's very big on luxury, obviously, but a curious way she expresses this is through a profusion of baked goods.
For the past 10 years, it has been my task to write articles about people who I think are powerful, and I usually find that interviewing them animates not only my writing, but my experience of life.

Now here's the "kicker" I think when people get their hands on this article and really experience it they become observant of the trend for Europeans to show keen interest in all things green.
What's your impression of power? Is it just introduced through an idea such as ‘paper’ making? I went to interview Donatella Versace at her headquarters on Via Gesu and believe it not important. During these Financial Times, devastated native forests and failed sustainable forestry program has lead to a world depletion mode. This issue hangs unanswered and becomes a bigger issue every day..
