Hong Kong - Musimchronicle
Stocks in Hong Kong followed Asian markets higher and rose for the third session in a row on Thursday, underpinned by robust gains in financial and property stocks.
The market resumed trading after a one-day closure for a strong typhoon.
The Hang Seng index rose 0.4 percent, to 27,518.60, while the China Enterprises Index gained 0.9 percent, to 11,051.00 points.
The market drew support from other Asian bourses that shook off the risk aversion that gripped financial markets overnight after President Donald Trump's threat to shut down the U.S. government.
The financial subindex rose 0.7 percent, while that for consumer stocks was up 1.3 percent.
The real estate sector also rose strongly, with shares of Chinese developer Guangzhou R&F Properties Co. Ltd. jumping 7.3 to their highest since July 2009, bolstered by strong earnings growth.

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.
