CAPMAS
Cairo - MENA
The Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) stated Thursday that Egyptian cotton exports in the period between September and November 2016 totaled 202,500 metric quintals compared to 123,600 metric quintals during the same period last year, representing a 63.9 percent increase.
The Agency said in its quarterly newsletter for the first quarter of the 2016-2017 agricultural year (from September to November 2016) that total consumption rates of domestic cotton reached 107,000 metric quintals, compared to 113,000 metric quintals during the same period of the previous year, recording a decrease of 3.5 percent.
IT attributed the decrease to the fact that a number of spinning and weaving factories had gone out of business.

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 led
