Former minister forms party to challenge Erdogan
Meral Aksener, a former Turkish interior minister and deputy parliament speaker
Ankara - Muslimchronicle
A former Turkish interior minister and deputy parliament speaker has formed a new party hoping to challenge President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in elections set for 2019.
The 61-year-old Meral Aksener founded the center-right “Iyi Parti,” or “Good Party,” in Ankara on Wednesday with a group of legislators who broke away from Turkey’s nationalist party this year. They were angered by the support that party gave Erdogan in a referendum that increases the president’s powers.
Aksener is Turkey’s first woman interior minister and served in that post between 1996 and 1997 until the government, a conservative-Islamist coalition, was ousted under military pressure.
At a ceremony marking the party’s founding, Aksener suggested that she could run against Erdogan in the presidential elections.

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
