MashUP
When I wrote this I had preconceived that I was going to use Zhang Yin and Donatella Versace in my model. So, this mashup is not of three individuals, but discusses a single woman's position in relation to power.
Despite the power of her position, she is cagey about how she made her fortune. In a society known for close ties and hidden deals between government officials and business leaders, she says simply, ''I'm an honest businesswoman.''. For example, they require interviewers to sign a form agreeing not to reveal any differences between the United States and Europe. Nevertheless, in review of the display, the overriding mood was of driving strength in the difficult months to come.
The oppressive environment of Milan, rarely does guarantee that today's innovation leader will not be copycatted and undersold into tomorrow's niche player. Because of the size of the empire, the drama isn't limited to the occasional threats from competitors, yet being a woman was not a problem, she says. "Actually, I didn't find it difficult," she says. "I found men respected me". But in a strange way, the violence of these events seems to have driven a lot of the phony pretension out of the industry. The sort of shock tactics, trends and avant-garde posing that have run rampant for many seasons has given way, in the face of real-world shocking events, to a yearning for beauty.
Maybe we think innovation begins with an epiphany, a sudden vision of the future. Either way, we think of that one thing, the lightning bolt that jolted all the other pieces into place but the history is comparatively free of lightning-bolt moments. However, she hasn't lost her ambition, though. Sometimes called the queen of trash, she doesn't disown the title. But, she said, ''Some day, I'd like to be known as the queen of containerboards.'' Although some insiders had doubted her ability to go on, she has proved that the design house is standing strong.

Images of Spaces
This is the 'laboratory' of Goodall, rather the rooftop terrace. Based on her interests I thought it best to have her working outside, in the natural sun. The metalic texture of the rooftop is to contrast against the bars of the other space; Goodall is much more contemporary than Nightingale
This is the 'laboratory' of Nightingale. It is a very monumental space, with 'aged' features. The monumentality refers to her significant feminist viewpoints.
The Nightingale 'gallery' and 'shaft', inspired by Egyptain tombs; her quote is a reference to solitude in religion. A tomb is solitude in religion
This is the meeting space; it is a mixture of the ideas in the Nightingale space and that of Goodall. The strong axis and monumental proportions is a reference to Nightingale, while the green lighting and the modern ramps is a reference to Goodalls naturalistic, modern perspectives
The Goodall stairwell; it leads to the rooftop terrace. But more importantly it is encased in a series of sphere, which symbolise the different predatorial and prey spheres in nature, which man is involved
