Pear Shaped
London - Arabstoday
A fabulous first novel by a British writer, whose smart-as-paint heroine Sophie is a food obsessive working in supermarket pudding development. Her new boyfriend James seems too good to be true - and, unfortunately, he is. In making the fabulous Sophie fall for such a cad, Newman possibly stretches the ‘love-is-blind’ idea slightly further than it will go, but her writing is witty and snappy and she is hilarious on the food industry, with a wit that would not disgrace television’s The Office. Being a little out of touch myself on the subject, I also found her fascinating on the methodology of contemporary dating.

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.

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.
