Lingering rains postpone tea-picking in E China
Hangzhou - Xinhua
Ongoing rain in east Zhejiang Province will bring about a 15-day-delay to the start of spring tea picking, provincial agricultural authorities said Thursday. The continuous low temperatures and drizzle will force tea gardens -- covering a total of 1 million mu (66,666 hectares) -- to postpone the start of picking for half a month, said Lu Debiao, deputy chief of tea section in provincial agriculture department. Provincial statistics show rainfall this year rose 65 % year-on-year, and the amount of sunshine was the lowest in 60 years. The delay of tea-picking, especially for the world-famed Longjing tea, or westlake tea, will likely hike market prices by 10 %, Lu said.

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.

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.
