Shanghai - XINHUA
Typhoon Malakas and astronomical tides have pushed the water level of Shanghai's Huangpu River above the warning line, authorities said Sunday.
Malakas, the 16th typhoon in 2016, entered the southern part of the East China Sea on Saturday afternoon, China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center said.
According to statistics by Shanghai Flood Risk Information Center, water levels at the sections of Wusongkou, Suzhouhe and Mishidu all exceeded the warning line on Sunday morning.
Rising water levels forced local authorities to launch emergency response measures and shut all tidal gates on Sunday morning. The local flood control headquarters has urged all related departments to stay alert.
Typhoon Malakas comes on the heels of Typhoon Meranti, which has left at least 28 people dead and another 15 missing in eastern China since it made landfall in Fujian Thursday morning.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
