Britain to unveil Mahatma Gandhi's statue in UK
Mahatma Gandhi's statue
New Delhi - XINHUA
Britain Tuesday said that it would soon unveil the statue of India's independence icon Mahatma Gandhi outside the British Parliament to honor the 'Father of the nation'.
Visiting British Chancellor George Osborne announced the news on social media site Twitter, saying that London would "honour his (Gandhi's) memory with statue in front of mother of parliaments" in Parliament Square at the heart of the British capital.
So, Gandhi, who played a key role in helping India win its independence from Britain in 1947 following a non-violence movement, will soon stand near the figure of his one-time nemesis, British wartime Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

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.
