Powder that wig: Paris fashion goes all 18th century
PARIS — Dries Van Noten and Christian Lacroix channelled "Barry Lyndon", Andreas Kronthaler and Vivienne Westwood Mozart, and on Sunday US designer Thom Browne went potty for Madame de Pompadour.With designers' falling out of love with streetwear, Paris fashion week has gone nuts for the 18th century.Even streetwear's main man, the American Virgil Abloh, rolled his clock back this week putting Gigi Hadid in a trailing pink puffball gown and another model in a zipped raincoat worn like a cape.He was not alone. Crinolines and feather-light side hoops turned up in Jonathan Anderson's Loewe show almost as if they were leisurewear."If I had a perfumed handkerchief, I would be waving it right now," quipped one adoring critic at the end of the Thom Browne show,...

MEXICO CITY — Legendary Mexican singer Jose Jose's legions of fans had not even finished processing the news of his death when a mystery exploded amid the mourning: where is The Prince of Song's body?Jose Romulo Sosa Ortiz, a superstar singer of Latin love songs better known by his stage name, Jose Jose, died on Saturday at age 71 outside Miami, according to the Mexican government.Emotional fans were still belting out his classic hits through tears in Claveria, his native Mexico City neighborhood, when the loss took a telenovela-like turn: Jose Jose's two oldest children, Jose Joel and Marysol, accused their younger half-sister and her mother of hiding his body.When Jose Joel and Marysol, whose mother was the second of Jose Jose's three wives, arrived Sunday at the...

Kilt helped Tintin come out as more PC comic hero, says expert
PARIS — It's the moment experts say that Tintin stopped being quite so racist, and began his long journey toward what we might now call culturally sensitive "wokeness".A key drawing of the crime-fighting cub reporter from his British adventure, "The Black Island", will go under the hammer in Paris next month.Worth an estimated 300,000 euros ($326,000), the A3-sized ink drawing from 1938 marks a turning pointing in the development of the comic book boy hero as a more rounded, self-aware individual.Having engaged in full-blooded Russophobia in "Tintin in the Land of the Soviets", and piled on the racial stereotypes in subsequent scrapes in the Congo, America and the Middle East, Tintinologists say the story marks a "stylistic and ideological...

Picture of Dutch 'jailbird' sparks social media storm
THE HAGUE — A picture of a small parrot "locked up" in a Dutch police cell is giving new meaning to jailbird — and on Monday attracted a flurry of chirpy comments on social media.When police arrested the bird's owner on suspicion of shoplifting in the central Dutch city of Utrecht on Thursday, they found the little bird nestled on the suspect's shoulder.Local law enforcement did not have a bird cage on hand while processing the man, so the feathered felon was promptly put in a Dutch police cell with a sandwich and water.Police posted the picture of the lonely bird on Instagram. It was then reworked by a local news station which placed a black bar over its eyes "to protect its identity.""We recently arrested a suspect in shoplifting case," police...

Artist-scientist breathes new life into ancient fossils
JOHANNESBURG — It measures up to 10 meters (32.5 feet) from snout to tail, has four stumpy legs and — most noticeable of all — boasts a jaw lined with scary, jagged teeth.Even in pastel colors, this depiction of a rauisuchian — a forerunner of today's crocodiles that roamed the world more than 200 million years ago in the Triassic period — causes a shiver to run down the spine.Yet the drawing of the dino-chomping terror is not part of a teen sci-fi magazine, but an illustration to accompany a deeply serious scientific study published by South Africa's University of the Witwatersrand.It is the work of Viktor Radermacher, a South African who is half scientist and half artist.He is a "palaeo-artist" — his job is to give the world an idea of what these...

Paris falls for jazz-age glamour of India's modernist maharajah
PARIS — They were India's golden couple of the 1920s and 1930s, two beautiful people who cut a wildly glamorous dash across the globe, being photographed by Man Ray and sipping drinks with Hollywood stars.The extraordinary lives and impeccable taste of the Maharajah of Indore and his maharani, Sanyogita Devi, are celebrated in a spectacular new exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris.With the clouds of World War II darkening over Europe, the pair created a gem of an avant-garde palace on the Malwa Plateau in the heart of India.An oasis of understated but dazzling modernist luxury, it was furnished with pieces by Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret among others, with art by Brancusi.The first building in the subcontinent to have air conditioning, it also had a...

Dance star boycotts planes and hits out at 'artistic jet set'
PARIS — The French choreographer Jerome Bel caused a stir on Thursday by saying that he had stopped taking flights and was turning his back on the "artistic jet set".The enfant terrible of French dance said that he would also be boycotting work by artists who flew or did not make an effort to combat climate change.He is one of a number of art and theater stars who are now refusing to travel by plane for performances and rehearsals, including the acclaimed British director Katie Mitchell.Just like Hollywood stars, major performance artists and directors are globetrotters, who can clock up millions of air miles.Bel said that neither he nor his dance company would be taking a plane again."We cannot keep destroying the planet as we are doing," he said.For his new show,...
