Article mashup

Barack Obama is revelling in presidential power and prominence when Madonna wore one of his outfits down the Milan runways. Barely 100 days in her family's dusty luggage company, Prada has turned it into a luxury conglomerate that in 2002 had revenues of about 1.9 billion, and that takes a certain type of genius. The rise of Mrs. Prada is at the top of Washington for decades because she has the ability to push through ambitious plans.

"I cannot in my memory remember a time when Madonna has had more influence", said Democrat Franklin Roosevelt and Republican Ronald Reagan. "No matter what direction her new life takes, say others, Madonna's effect on the corporate front is a certain above-the-fray quality because of her deep understanding of the shape of zeitgeist and what people are hungering for."

Obama is seeing with evidence that with power, it is better to launch a lifestyle trend, based on happiness and make something beautiful with it. Without a doubt, Obama is the one creating the trends, having created some definite design benchmarks, he could pull off a worldwide coup d'etat if he so desired. More importantly, he is able to take from people who are then given an authority assured him a legacy on top of all three branches of government - executive, legislative and judicial.

Prada's power, first manifested in the minimal black nylon backpack draped over every influential arm , would never realistically have been picked up by a lot of people, but when it became incarnate in such celebrities as Uma Thruman, it becomes inscribed on the cultural consciousness. One thing Prada the woman is unafraid of is a good fight. Season after season, her fashion opponents are in disarray, reduced in numbers, giving Prada the opportunity to put her imprint on the tidal waves of fashion activity.
