The Mash-Up

HONG KONG: Just five years ago when Donatella attended the White House Correspondents' dinner on Saturday evening, the iPhone went on sale. Versace was candid about her views on Steve Jobs, Apple's chief executive and field general who has Napoleonic dreams of global conquest for his 10-month-old wonder gadget, the iPhone. Versace said "He said, 'Waste paper is like a forest. Paper recycles itself, generation after generation." And despite her attendance at the dinner, which was hosted by George Bush himself she and her husband, who was trained as a dentist, had formed a company in the 1990s to collect paper for recycling and ship it to China.

Since last summer, amid long lines of shoppers and media adulation, Versace, as a result of her entrepreneurship is now richer than virtually any other woman anywhere in the world. Versace said "Hillary should wear Versace - a dress, not trousers,", "She doesn't need to wear trousers to show she's strong."
