LAU hosts Canadian Ambassador to Lebanon over informative press
Canadian Ambassador to Lebanon, Michelle Cameron
Beirut - Arab Today
The Lebanese American University (LAU) hosted Canadian Ambassador to Lebanon, Michelle Cameron, in a workshop titled "Informative Press and Human Rights".
The Ambassador held a meeting with representatives of LAU's academics and with heads of specialized departments.
Cameron explained to journalism students the role of the press in addressing humanitarian and political crises in the world.
The diplomat noted that journalists have a great influence on people's mentality and their views of human rights, reiterating that many countries suffered from human rights violations on different levels. Such violations targeted refugees, LGBT community, and women. She gave the example of the status of Lebanese women who are deprived of some of their basic rights.
Cameron concluded by quoting the Canadian Prime Minister who said "if every country in the world respects human rights, other matters will be achieved on their own."

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 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.
