Riyadh - Muslimchronicle
Major General Mansour al-Turki, the spokesperson of the Saudi interior ministry, has said that the legal driving age of women in the country is 18 years.
“The royal decree is clear in terms of implementing traffic laws on men and women alike,” Turki told Al-Arabiya news channel.
He noted that security forces are always present on the kingdom’s roads and will deal with women as passengers, adding they will not find it “difficult to deal with women when they begin to drive and will do all it takes to maintain everyone’s safety.”
Enhancing traffic safety
Turki said the interior minister thinks the recent decision to lift the ban on women driving represents a strong push to the ministry’s efforts to enhance traffic safety through education.
“Women will certainly benefit from being able to drive and it will help them understand traffic rules and manners. This will positively affect their educational role while raising children to properly handle cars and be on the road,” he added.

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.
