Anna Wintour made a dame by Britain’s queen
Anna Wintour
London - Arab Today
Britain’s monarch has met a queen of the fashion world, as Vogue editor Anna Wintour was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
Wintour was made a dame — female equivalent of a knight — for services to fashion and journalism in a Buckingham Palace ceremony on Friday.
The UK-born editor arrived wearing her ever-present sunglasses, but removed them before entering the palace ballroom.
She said afterward that the queen had struggled to find a place to pin the insignia on Wintour’s pink belted Chanel outfit.
Wintour said she also congratulated the queen on Prince Philip’s long public service, calling him “an inspiration to us all.”
The queen’s husband, who is 95, announced Thursday that he will retire from public engagements in the fall.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
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" opened 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.
