Small explosion in Bangkok on eve of new constitution

Bangkok - Arab today
A small pipe bomb exploded near a symbolic location in Bangkok on Wednesday, the eve of the signing of a new constitution that will allow for an election to end military rule in Thailand.
Police said the device had exploded inside a dustbin in the centre of the city close to the Democracy Monument, which has been a rallying point for pro-democracy protests over the decades.
Two street cleaners were taken to hospital with ringing in their ears, but there were no other injuries, police said. "It's not an act of terrorism or an act to stir unrest," Bangkok police chief Chaktip Chaijinda told Reuters.
Thailand's army seized power in 2014 in the name of ending political turmoil. King Maha Vajiralongkorn is due to sign a new constitution on Thursday as a step towards an election expected next year. A series of coordinated bombings in Thai tourist resorts last August left at least four people dead and dozens wounded days after a referendum which approved the new constitution. No group claimed responsibility and the government has not said who it thinks might be to blame.

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