Malcolm Smith
San Francisco - Muslimchronicle
The San Francisco 49ers placed linebacker Malcolm Smith, a former Super Bowl Most Valuable Player, on the injured reserve list on Monday with a torn pectoral muscle, ending his 2017 season.
Smith was injured on Saturday in practice at the team's Levi's Stadium.
The 28-year-old joined the 49ers as a free agent on March 9 after signing a five-year, $26.5 million (22.5 million euros) deal.
He played in 15 games, including 14 starts, for the Oakland Raiders last season, and he started all 16 games in 2015, when he had four sacks for the Raiders.
Smith was the MVP of Super Bowl 48 following the 2013 season while playing for the Seattle Seahawks. He is one of just 10 defensive players to earn Super Bowl MVP honors.
He recorded six tackles, returned an interception 69 yards for a touchdown and recovered a fumble in the Seahawks' 43-8 blowout victory over the Denver Broncos.
The 49ers signed linebacker Austin Calitro on Monday. The 23-year-old Calitro signed with the New York Jets as an undrafted rookie free agent out of university on May 5 and was waived by the Jets 10 days later.

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 hisGMT 09:40 2011 Thursday ,01 September
