Fishermen compete in Yanbu’s sea festival
Yanbu - Arabstoday
The Yanbu Grand Fishing Competition started on Saturday at the central fish market dock. Around 168 fishermen participated in the competition using 24 boats as part of the Yanbu Sea Festivals of 2012. The fishing zone was defined 25 km from the dock to the Shuban Al-Sab’ah, and 35 km from Tahlah to Umm Khashaba. The fishing area is 875 sq m. This year’s award of SR 57,000 will be given to the top five fishermen. Yanbu’s fish market is an economic strength to the region. Every morning the voices of the fishermen can be heard coming ashore after being out to sea all through the night. “The market consists of 44 fish shops surrounding one restaurant and one fishing tool shop,” said the chief of the fishing community. He said fishermen go out to sea every day, and some of them stay out to sea for three or four days. “Those who come back on the same day are called ‘Tarwah’ (fresh). Their fishes are the best in the market,” he added. Arab news

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.
