Nemcova named envoy for Haiti
Port-au-Prince - Arabstoday
Supermodel Petra Nemcova has been named ambassador at large for Haiti because of the charity work she’s done through her non-profit group the Happy Hearts Fund. The Czech Republic citizen received the honour at a private ceremony at Haiti’s National Palace on Friday with President Michel Martelly and Prime Minister Laurent Lamothe. Her appointment was announced on Monday by the Happy Hearts Fund. Nemcova joins Hollywood actor Sean Penn and hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean, who carry the same title to promote Haiti to the outside world. The Happy Hearts Fund was created several months after Nemcova barely survived the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. The non-profit focuses on helping children and building schools. from gulfnews.com

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.
