Victoria Beckham goes 'retro' at London Fashion Week show
London — Exaggerated collars, leopard print and a strong color palette: British designer Victoria Beckham turned to "pinches of the '70s" as she showcased her latest collection Sunday at London Fashion Week.The former Spice Girl chose the rarified galleries of the Tate Britain museum, a neoclassical building home to some of the country's most treasured art, for only her second catwalk show in the British capital."I have been thinking about what women want, about modern femininity," she told audiences in show notes describing her autumn/winter 2019 collection."There are touches of retro, pinches of the '70s. Yet it's all brought together into something encapsulating what we call the modern feminine alphabet," the 44-year-old said.The audience...

Investigation into alleged attack on Smollett has 'shifted': police
Chicago — An investigation into an alleged attack on a black actor has "shifted" and police are now seeking a follow-up interview with the "Empire" cast member, a spokesman said Sunday.Jussie Smollett, 36, reported to police on Jan. 29 that two men beat him, yelled racial and homophobic slurs, poured bleach on him and tied a rope around his neck while he walked downtown in the third-largest American city.The announced change in direction came two days after police said that the two "potential suspects" in the attack had been released without charge and as US media outlets reported that the attack may have been staged."The information received from the individuals questioned by police earlier in the Empire case has in fact shifted the trajectory of the...

Pepin part of a very rare breed
Paris — Camille Pepin is part of a very rare breed. She is a female composer.Women have conquered space, risen in the military ranks, but some professions remain resolutely and bewilderingly masculine.When Pepin turned up for her first day at the Paris Conservatoire -- as usual the only woman in a class of men -- an official told her that her name wasn't on the list.But when she insisted that she was and that he look again, he cried, "Ah, you're a woman!"Camille is also a man's name in France."I would never have thought," he apologized. "There are so many men..."With so few female composers in the classical music repertoire, it was an easy mistake to make.Pepin has never let everyday sexism get her down though, laughing it off like water off a...

Making 'Capernaum' was a duty: Oscar contender Labaki
Beirut — For Lebanon's Nadine Labaki, whose social-realist epic "Capernaum" is an Oscar contender for best foreign film, the toughest battle is only just beginning.Her heart-wrenching story of poverty and survival in Beirut's wretched underclass won a 15-minute standing ovation and the Jury Prize in Cannes last year.A former election candidate in Beirut, Labaki now hopes an Academy Award will not only complete the film's impressive harvest of distinctions but also boost its impact at home."So the conversation is starting now and that was my aim, to create this shock, and to create this debate," Labaki told AFP in her Beirut office.The 45-year-old has arguably become Lebanese culture's most prominent export and she is bent on making good use of her...
