Toronto - Musimchronicle
The number of asylum seekers crossing the United States, US, border into Canada more than tripled last month, according to Canadian government figures released Thursday, Reuters reported.
More than 3,100 people walked across the border in July to file refugee claims, up from 884 in June.
Ninety-six percent of them went to Quebec, where an influx of asylum seekers, primarily Haitians, sparked a backlash from opposition politicians and anti-immigrant groups in the primarily French-speaking province.
Canada is on track this year for having the most refugee claims in a decade, with 7,500 of the 21,695 refugee claimants crossing the border illegally, according to the government statistics, Reuters 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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
