This does not mean dropping everything ...

Hold onto your horses. French fashion is back to its swashbuckling best and the designer leading the charge is a young mixed-race man determined to give post-attacks Paris a new swagger. "I want to make all men feel like princes again," Olivier Rousteing declared Saturday after his dashing, unashamedly masculine show for Balmain. Half of the models looked like they had come straight from the ball the night before Waterloo in their silk and velvet breeches, with big brass-buttoned greatcoats thrown on their shoulders, and fur and tassels flying. "Paris is the city of light and those lights should continue to shine," the 30-year-old designer, a favourite of pop divas Beyonce and Rihanna, told AFP.

I want to show the diversity and colours of France and to show that Paris has a past, a present and it will have a future," he added. Rousteing, who w...

The success stories of female entrepreneurs continue to amaze everyone. One of the latest and greatest examples of female entrepreneurship and successful women is fashion designer Ayşe Bourke. Bourke's journey began with a skirt that she sewed by hand in middle school, at the age of 13. She sewed the skirt in such a way that her teachers knew instantly that their student was destined to be one of the most talent fashion designers in the industry. Bourke's love for sewing and fashion did not die as time wore on. While studying to become an accountant, the young woman continued to pursue her passion for fashion - day and night - becoming a successful female entrepreneur.

When she visited Kuwait for pattern and fabric study, she organized a fashion...

An Israeli fashion designer, Dodo Bar Or, has launched a new women's line using the patterns of the keffiyeh, famous for representing the Palestinian struggle, causing a controversy over the applicability of political symbols in fashion. Keffiyeh, known as 'puşi' in Turkish or also as 'desmal' in Kurdish, is a traditional scarf-a-like headdress used by Middle Eastern people, including Arabs, Kurds and Persians, and it is typically made of cotton. It comes in black and white, but also in red and white, checkered shape patterns. A number of Palestinians have voiced that they were offended by the Israeli designer's line, as the keffiyeh has come to symbolize years of Palestinian struggle against the Israeli occupation. The black and white version was used by the Palestinian Liberation Organization's former leader Yasser Arafat from the 1960's onward, but it later on came to represent the Palestinian struggle and movement. Meanwhile, in other par...

American designer Tommy Hilfiger has launched a line of clothing for children with disabilities, a collaboration that started after a mother couldn't find jeans for her son who wears leg braces. The 22 pieces, which include jeans, khakis, dresses and button-up shirts, look exactly the same as those on the pre-existing TH Kids line and are also priced the same, Tommy Hilfiger said in a statement posted on its website Tuesday. The difference is magnetic closures and Velcro in the place of buttons and zippers, to make it easy to get in and out of garments. Buttons are still sewn on the front, so there's no difference in the look. Dresses and t-shirts can be opened completely in the back, while the length of the bottoms can be easily adjusted with a loop and button system. The line was created in collaboration with Runway of Dreams, a group that works with the fashion industry to adapt mainstream clothing for disabled people, Tommy Hilfiger said in its...

A recent cancer research study has raised new hopes for treatments through its finding of how tumor cells attack body's 'circadian clocks' which help balancing nourishment. According to the research led by Paolo Sassone-Corsi of the University of California, Irvine, the study can lead to new findings which help the world of medicine overcome the deadly illness, NBC News reported on Friday. "We have clocks everywhere, in every tissue in our body," Sassone-Corsi reportedly said and added that "All these biological clocks need to be synchronized, or work in concert," according to the broadcast newtork's report. The research reportedly looked into how these clocks were being disrupted by tumors and the disruption's effect on the metabolism. The research examined mice with lung tumors and monitored their liver tissue in frequent period...

------------------------------- A gene that produces red hair and fair skin is associated with looking more youthful than others, according to a new study published in the journal Current Biology. People carrying particular MC1R variants in their DNA look, on average, almost two years older than they are, ScienceDaily reported. Manfred Kayser of Erasmus MC University Medical Center Rotterdam in the Netherlands said, "For the first time, a gene has been found that explains in part why some people look older and others younger for their age." People's perceived age is generally influenced by genetic and environmental factors along with health condition. Kayser and another researcher David Gunn searched the genomes of more than 2,600 elderly Dutch Europeans, finding that MC1R gene is responsible for the physical signs of facial aging. ----------------------------------------------- "Our study provides new leads for further investigating the biological basis of how ol...

Infecting mosquitoes with a strain of bacteria known as Wolbachia significantly reduced their ability to transmit the Zika virus, Brazilian researchers said on Wednesday, raising hope for this biological method of blocking transmission of the deadly virus. The bacteria has been released in several countries including Australia, Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam as part of strategies to control dengue, and the new finding shows the method also works with Zika, a close relative of dengue. Zika has been linked with the birth defect microcephaly that has been sweeping through South and Central America and the Caribbean and making its way north to the United States. In February the World Health Organization declared Zika a global health emergency. The connection between Zika and microcephaly came to light last fall in Brazil, which has now confirmed more than 1,100 cases of microcephaly that it considers to be related to Zika infections in the mothers. The new study, by researchers at Brazi...

Eating seafood has a number of well-known health benefits. The vitamins and minerals in fish protect against heart disease and stroke and are good for brain development. Now, a new study shows that consuming fish at least once per week, even seafood that contains mercury, lowers the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease in some people. Fish is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids that have been linked to good health. Several studies suggest fish consumption wards off dementia. Fish, however, also contains high levels of mercury, a neurotoxin, which researchers have feared could lead to dementia. Brain samples: Investigators at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago analyzed the brain samples of 286 deceased volunteers for mercury, finding those who ate a lot of fish had the highest levels of the metal in their bodies. The study, however, also found that fish consumption, at least once per week, seemed to protect some of the elderly participants from Alzheimer’s. They found higher ...

For middle aged people, too much time on the couch watching television instead of exercising could shrink their brains, according to a new study. Writing in the journal Neurology, researchers from the Boston University School of Medicine found that less fit middle-aged adults saw loss of brain volume after 20 years. “We found a direct correlation in our study between poor fitness and brain volume decades later, which indicates accelerated brain aging,” said study author Nicole Spartano of Boston University School of Medicine. For their study, researchers looked at over 1,500 people from the Framingham Heart Study, or FHS, a project of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Boston University. The subjects were age 40 on average and did not have dementia or heart disease. They were given a treadmill test. Two decades later, researchers looked at the same group, minus any who had developed heart disease or high blood pressure. This group consisted of just over 1,000 people. Eac...

A recent research study focusing on women and men who have lost their spouses has revealed that women get healthier after being recently widowed while their male counterparts are worsened after they lose their life-mates. The research lead by Dr. Caterina Trevisan from U.K.'s Padova University suggests that being married for men is beneficial as there is a woman taking care of his health and other household management. However, the same does not apply to women, the study says, as it brings more stress and makes life harder for the wives, the study says. "€In particular, men who had never married or who were widowed showed a higher risk of frailty than married men, while widowed women had a lower risk of becoming frail than married women," the research says. "Unlike the results seen for male gender, widowed women showed a significantly lower risk of frailty than married women, with a lower incidence of unintentional weight loss or low daily physical activity levels. M...

A recent research study has revealed that those who continue working after they retire live longer compared to those who stop working. The research, conducted between 1992 and 2010 by Oregon University in the United States, found out that among 65 years-old or older, working for a year decreases risk of death by 11 percent. Even those who had health problems had 9 percent less risk of death, compared to those who did not work. Among those who participated in the research, 12 percent of those without any health problems and 25 percent of those with health problems died. "Continuing to work provides people with better social and economic benefits and this makes people live longer," the research Director Chenkai Wu said. Wu added that while people pay attention to the economic benefits of working, they do not acknowledge the health benefits of working. The research focused on 3000 participants who were 65 years old or older. They were divided into 'healthy' and those wit...

Most people don't need to fast overnight before getting their blood drawn for a cholesterol test, according to a group of experts. Cholesterol test results obtained one to six hours after a meal were not significantly different from results obtained after a fast, researchers found. "It could be implemented tomorrow with no problems at all," said lead author Dr. Borge Nordestgaard, of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark. "Today, the key players for keeping the fasting procedure are the laboratories drawing the blood. They simply could change the procedure tomorrow, and then nobody would fast anymore. That is what we did in Denmark – and patients, clinicians and laboratories were all happy with the change." Nordestgaard told Reuters Health in an email that doctors essentially just always had patients fast before a cholesterol test. "So people got used to it without questioning the fasting procedure," he said. Typically, blood is drawn for a cholester...
