At Dubai International Airport
Chocolate 'Burj Khalifa' unveiled
World's tallest structure in chocolate
Dubai - Arab Today
Dubai International Airport (DIA) has unveiled the world's tallest structure in chocolate, a 44.2 ft tall model of the Burj Khalifa, on occasion of the 43rd U.A.E. National Day celebrations.
A creation of the Master Chocolatier Andrew Farrugia, the chocolate tower was made using 4,200 kg of high quality Belgian chocolate and took Farrugia and his team 1,050 hours of painstaking work to complete.
The chocolate tower is located at Concourse A in Terminal 3 of DIA and will be on display for two weeks.
"Dubai is known all over the world for superlatives – the city is home to some of the world's tallest buildings apart from Burj Khalifa; one of the world's top two busiest international airports, one of the world's largest seaports, largest shopping malls and a number of other world firsts. We thought it was a great idea to celebrate the National Day with a record breaking feat that travellers passing through Dubai International would be able to appreciate," said Anita Mehra, vice president of communications and business development.

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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
