Vivian Mourad to Arabstoday: Singers should be evaluated on voice, not body
Beirut - Soliman Asfahany
Lebanese singer Vivian Mourad has recently declined a number of recording contracts. In an interview with Arabstoday, Mourad said she was put off by producers’ commercial motives. In her view, the monopolistic nature of the music industry stands at odds with artistic production. Mourad gives performing arts their due, but emphasises that singers should be evaluated on vocal acumen rather than physical prowess. Mourad’s recent performance of a poem by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish set to music garnered significant critical praise.

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.
