Pope Francis
Santiago - Muslimchronicle
Pope Francis called Tuesday for respect of the rights and culture of indigenous peoples, as he made his first speech during a visit to Chile.
It is necessary to listen to native peoples, "often forgotten and whose rights and protected culture must be taken into account," said the pontiff in an address to political authorities.
He made no specific mention of the Mapuche, with whom he is scheduled to meet in Chile, where he arrived Monday.
Francis also said he felt "pain" and "shame" over sexual abuse scandals that have rocked the church in the South American country.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
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 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.
