A British holidaymaker in Turkey
Dubai - Emirates Voice
A British holidaymaker in Turkey has been arrested after he tried to fly home with supposedly vintage coins he found while snorkeling.
Staff at Bodrum airport confronted Toby Robyns, 52, after they found 13 coins in his luggage, The Sun reported Tuesday.
He is being detained in Milas prison on suspicion of “finding Turkish artefacts without notifying authorities,” according to The Times.
If found guilty, he could face a three-year jail term.
Robyns found the coins in Turgutreis, an area close to Yassi Ada island which is thought to be surrounded by up to 25 shipwrecks.
James Stoneham, a family friend, told The Sun: “This was harmless fun on a holiday. When he went to get his flight home they dragged him off and searched his hand luggage.”
Meanwhile, The Times reported that a Foreign Office spokesman said: “We are assisting a British man following his arrest in Bodrum and remain in contact with his family and the Turkish authorities.”

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
