Japan\'s jobless rate edges up to 4.6%
London - AFP
Japan\'s jobless rate edged up to 4.6 percent in December from 4.5 percent in the previous month, the government said on Tuesday. Economists had forecast the figure would stay flat at 4.5 percent. The total number of jobless stood at 2.75 million, a drop of 240,000 on the previous year, figures from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication showed. But as Japan\'s working-age population is also falling that still meant the unemployment rate went up. The labour ministry said in a separate survey that the ratio of job offers to job seekers was 0.71 in December, up from 0.69 in November, meaning there were 71 job offers to every 100 job hunters.

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.
