Merkel\'s party invites Greens to help rule German state of Hesse
Berlin - SPA
Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party on Friday invited Germany's left-of-centre, environmentalist Green Party to hold formal talks on forming a coalition to rule the central state of Hesse, dpa reported. In a state election on September 22, Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) won just 47 of the 110 seats in the state assembly. The state's CDU premier, Volker Bouffier, has been in simultaneous exploratory talks for eight weeks with both Social Democrats (SPD) and the Greens to form a coalition. His choice may upset the SPD, who are Merkel's favoured partner for a likely federal coalition. Merkel has no direct role in the state's politics. The Greens are expected to respond to the offer on Saturday.

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.

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.
