South Korea's ruling party changes name into Liberty Korea Party
President Park Geun-hye
Seoul - ArabToday
South Korea's ruling Saenuri Party officially changed its name on Monday into Liberty Korea Party as part of efforts to renovate its image tainted by the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye.
The name change was made five years after its predecessor Grand National Party altered its name into Saenuri Party in 2012.
In Myung-jin, the party's head, said the party must re-establish the conservative value and prepare for new South Korea by achieving a conservative reform.
Public support for the governing party tumbled to the lower range of 10 percent following the corruption scandal involving President Park and her longtime friend that led to Park's impeachment.
Some of the party members participate in pro-Park rallies every Saturday to demand the constitutional court's rejection of the impeachment motion that was passed in the parliament on Dec. 9 last year.
President Park maintains the party affiliation until now despite the party's call for her voluntary departure.

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
