MINI to launch electric model by 2019
New York Auto Show
New York - Muslimchronicle
Sebastian Mackensen, global head of MINI, has said that the next volume model, due in late 2019, will be electric. He made the revelation at the New York Auto Show held recently and he said he hoped that it would be a car that people would buy.
MINI, along with many small cars, are facing difficulties with the surge in demand for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and crossovers. Its US sales dropped from 66,500 cars in 2013 to 52,000 last year. The company hopes the electric model will regain some of the lost sales. There has been speculation that there would be more than one electric MINI model and that the MINI hatch would be the first to go electric. BMW has previously said it would have five electric vehicles by 2020 including one MINI and one X3. In addition to the i8 going electric in 2018, the company will introduce the iNEXT electric vehicle from 2021.

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
