NEW ON THE LIST
ART & DESIGN
JAKE CHAPMAN, 41, AND DINOS CHAPMAN, 45
ARTISTS
Still considered the enfants terribles of the London art scene, the brothers are back in the spotlight with a new exhibition. Critics have heaped praise on the work, on display at the White Cube gallery, which includes some of Hitler's watercolours defaced with hippy motifs. Former Royal College of Art graduates, the Chapmans once worked as assistants to another great artistic duo, Gilbert and George.
GROWING IMPACT
SOCIETY
ARPAD BUSSON, 45
ARK FOUNDER
Chelsea-dwelling philanthropist who is incredibly well-connected. Financiers may be feeling the pinch but Busson still persuaded them to splash out more than £25 million for his charity, Absolute Return for Kids. Each year "Arki" hosts a gala dinner and auction to raise money for causes ranging from Romanian orphanages to city academy schools in Britain. Prizes in the auction this year included a role in girlfriend Uma Thurman's next movie.
ONE TO WATCH
RETAIL
MARY PORTAS, 46 DIRECTOR,
YELLOWDOOR CREATIVE MARKETING
The shopping guru and TV presenter returns tonight for a second series of her hit show Mary Queen Of Shops, in which she helps struggling independent boutiques. Famed for transforming Harvey Nichols into a fashion powerhouse and winning the Knightsbridge emporium the Ab Fab seal of approval, the Maida Vale resident now runs retail consultancy Yellowdoor. Clients seeking her business nous include Louis Vuitton and Oasis.
UNDER PRESSURE
RETAIL
CHARLIE MAYFIELD, 41
CHAIRMAN, JOHN LEWIS PARTNERSHIP
The former soldier, who is a doppelganger for Richard Madeley, was appointed chairman of John Lewis last year aged only 39. Until a month ago, it was pretty smooth-sailing but now sales at Britain's biggest department store chain are plunging. Many are questioning whether Mayfield has the experience to steer the partnership through tougher times on the high street.
FINANCE
SIR FRED GOODWIN, 49
CHIEF EXECUTIVE, ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND Nicknamed "Fred the Shred" for slashing jobs while at the Clydesdale bank, it could now be his turn to face the chop. Critics say he massively overpaid for Dutch bank ABN Amro, forcing RBS to ask investors to stump up £12 billion. The bank won the backing of shareholders for its cash call, granting Goodwin a temporary reprieve, but his reputation in the City is irreparably damaged.
UP AND COMING
FASHION
ROSIE HUNTINGTON-WHITELEY, 21
MODEL
Like many others before her, she is being touted as the next Kate Moss.
But this English rose could be the one who finally lives up to the challenge. She is believed to be replacing the now-ubiquitous Agyness Deyn as the face of Burberry and is a distant relative of Queen Victoria. She is also dating Ronnie Wood's art dealer son Tyrone.
