Zaha Hadid's concepts lead design collaborations
By: Suzy Menkes

Published: October 20, 2008
Was it a racy bar or a racing car? The conceptual architect Zaha Hadid unveiled two contemporary projects in one venue last week as her ongoing collaboration on dynamic footwear with Lacoste was projected in the space-age new interior for London's historic Home House.
The bar and lounge, with sculpted metallic surfaces finished with car paint or with silvered leather, made an impressive backdrop for the futuristic shoes. Onlookers studied the video images with attention usually reserved for Bill Viola's art, as a digitized version of the famous crocodile logo became a "landscape" that was then transferred by laser on to leather stretched over stainless steel plates.
"Dynamic fluid grids," said Hadid, defining her design expression and explaining how the shoe will expand and contract as it wraps around the foot, allowing the landscaped pattern to come and go.
In March, 1,000 pairs of limited edition Lacoste-Hadid shoes will go on sale, followed by a 10,000-strong diffusion line in May. Meanwhile, Hadid was to be in New York on Monday to open her futuristic construction for Chanel in Central Park.
For Ferragamo, the Frieze fair was a chance to reinforce the company's collaboration between fashion and art, by installing the work of the video artist Cécile Paris with her narrative artistic eye........................

بيان شجب واستنكار ضد العمليات الإجرامية التي تعترض لها الأقليات
نتابع باهتمام ما يجري في العراق من عمليات إرهابية تنال كل العراقيين, في نزعة لا إنسانية تجاه المواطنين تحت ظروف التجاذبات السياسية الحزبية العراقية وسياسة الاحتلال, أوصلت بلادنا الى الرضوخ لشبح الموت. في الأيام الأخير تركز عمل الارهابيين من البعثيين وقوى الظلام الممتدة من دول الجوار على بنات وأبناء الأقليات العراقية خاصة من أتباع الديانة المسيحية في مدينة الموصل وعموم العراق, فقد جرى اغتيال عشرة مواطنين مسيحيين خلال أيام قليلة, في محاولة إرهابية لتهجير أتباع الديانة المسيحية من العراق.
إننا نحمل الحكومة الاتحادية العراقية مسؤولية حماية المواطنين العراقيين, عبر ترسيخ النجاحات التي حصلت في مطاردة وإزاحة قوى الإرهاب خلال الفترة الأخيرة, وتعميقها في خطوات على كل المستويات السياسية والاقتصادية والاجتماعية وتطوير المصالحة الوطنية, كي تغلق الابواب بوجه كل قوى الإرهاب القادمة من خارج العراق والجاثمة على أرضه, كما نحمل قوات الاحتلال مسؤولية التراخي والسماح لنشاطات إرهابية كلما حصل خلاف سياسي,
ندعو بنات وأبناء شعبنا العراقي الى توحيد صفوفهم بوجه الإرهاب, والدفاع عن حقهم في العيش, ونبذ كل أشكال التميز العنصري, الذي تسعى قوى الظلام لزرعه في ارض وادي الرافدين.ونهيب بمنظمات المجتمع المدني للضغط على القوى السياسية والحكومة الاتحادية وحكومة إقليم كردستان لحماية الأقليات وحفظ حقوقهم عبر الدستور, وتشريع البرلمان العراقي كل ما من شأنه الحفاظ على كل ألوان الفسيفساء العراقي الجميلة.
