UAE Press: Heritage matters
The preservation of cultural heritage
Abu Dhabi - WAM
A UAE newspaper has said that the country has a long-standing commitment to the preservation of cultural heritage, not just our own, but that of other countries around the world.
"Cultural heritage is about more than just art. It is about human progress and civilisation that pushes people together at a time when the world is increasingly being pulled apart by evil forces and meddling hands," said The National in an editorial on Thursday.
As the paper reported yesterday, the restoration work of the Imperial Theatre at the Chateau de Fontainebleau in France has entered its final stages. The work on a 16th-century palace is partly sponsored by the UAE.
"Such initiatives provide further evidence that the country is a critical counterweight to the forces of chaos that are sweeping the region. Such moves also embody the constructive dialogue between France and the UAE and should be celebrated along with the Louvre in Abu Dhabi and Paris-Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi," concluded the Abu Dhabi-based daily.

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. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. 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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she ledGMT 13:06 2012 Thursday ,14 June
