Gold falls 1% on Eurozone downgrade
New York - Arabstoday
Gold fell one per cent on Friday after the dollar surged against the euro as a credit downgrade of Eur-ozone countries prompted bullion investors to take profits on the recent rally. Spot gold fell one per cent to $1,633.90 an ounce. It was still up about 5 per cent so far this year, due to buying by investors re-entering the market after a 10 per cent drop in Dec-ember. It was up one per cent for the week, for a second consecutive weekly gain. \"The dollar seems to be the main go-to safe-haven play at the moment. The downgrade has taken away some of the recent support from gold,\" said David Meger, director of metals trading at futures brokerage Vision Financial Markets.

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.
