ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland's famed hospitality management school, Ecole Hotelier de Lausanne (EHL), closed its campus in Lausanne on Saturday after cases of measles were discovered among students. "We have been compelled to close the Lausanne campus from Feb. 3 to Feb. 18 inclusive," the school said in a statement posted to its website. The campus is scheduled to reopen on Feb. 19. The university did not reveal how many students were infected by measles, but said they are currently isolated and recovering under medical care. Founded in 1893, EHL has been ranked the number one hospitality management school for the past five years by QS World University Ranking.

PARIS (AP) — Dior's menswear maestro Kim Jones transformed a sunny afternoon in Paris into a starlit evening of balletic grandeur at Paris Fashion Week, in a display of fashion theatrics. Inspired by the legendary ballet icons Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, Jones delivered an exuberant spectacle at the Ecole Militaire annex on Friday. Amid the haunting melodies of Sergei Prokofiev’s “Romeo and Juliet,” the collection intertwined Dior’s fine tailoring with a joyful explosion of theatrical glamour. JUNYA WATANABE’S THRIFT-SHOP CHICJunya Watanabe unveiled a collection that was a masterful blend of eerie mood-setting and aggressive urban fashion. The clothes featured a mix of traditional tailoring and streetwear elements, a nod to his 2001 debut when he first merged high fashion with everyday wear.

Some are graduates of École Lesage, the in-house embroidery school, although its training program, which can involve as much as 150 hours of instruction, is not a prerequisite for a job. “The most difficult part is to make,” Mr. Barrère said. “We’re talking about humans, not machines.”Mr. Barrère said it takes at least 100 hours to make an embroidery for a simple ready-to-wear garment. “In haute couture, it’s 600, 800, 1,000 or 2,000 hours of work, it depends,” he continued. Here is how it works:Conveying a ThemeFashion collections usually have themes, and Lesage artisans work with designers and their teams to turn those themes into embroidery.

Paris CNN —The Moomin characters may be internationally famous, but a new exhibition in Paris shows a lesser-known side to the Finnish artist who created them. The show takes an intimate look into the life of Tove Jansson, both as a prolific artist and an advocate for female independence. Courtesy The Community and Moomin Characters Ltd. Using illustrations, cartoons, photography, music, writings and letters, the exhibition shows Jansson as a multifaceted character who could — and did — make art out of almost anything.

For the first time, scientists were able to show they can bend lightning from a storm with a laser. The project, 20 years in the making, required a super powerful laser to be shot into the sky. A powerful laser was able to deflect a lightning bolt almost 200 feet before it hit a lightning rod, greatly improving the rod's function. The Laser Lightning Rod is seen in place on top of a Swiss mountain. AdvertisementAdvertisementEventually, the scientists were able to record a natural lightning bolt that, for the first time, followed the laser beam before hitting the tower.

“My go-to look is Japanese, Comme des Garçons or Yohji Yamamoto,” she said. “African weaving tools,” she explained, “they have very strong energy.”Ms. Zakowska’s dedication to research was evident in the shelves lined with fashion history books and in the giant mood boards covered with vintage magazine clippings, fabric swatches and photographs. She has collaborated and toured with Roman Paska, the renowned puppet artist and director, whom she met in college and is her life partner. And she has worked steadily in theater and film, including many collaborations with John Turturro, her close friend and former Yale roommate. “Working with Donna always makes my performance better,” Mr. Turturro said.

REUTERS/Gonzalo FuentesPARIS, June 23 (Reuters) - Dior men's artistic director Kim Jones took to a sparse, futuristic setting at the Ecole Militaire in central Paris, kicking off his summer show with an army of models that rose up from a metallic catwalk. A whining blast of scratchy electronic sounds set the runway presentation in motion, and the catwalk lit up as floor panels rolled back. Models emerged slowly, filling the room in rows.

It felt like it was a bomb, an attack," said Oliur, 27, still shaken by the explosion that he said miraculously left him unscathed. Across the street, local bar L'Oree du Bois had become a rallying point for local residents in search of a place to stay for the night, as they were not hopeful they could return to their homes immediately. Some were speculating about the origin of the blast, suspecting a gas leak, like 75-year-old Monique Mosser. "We're being told it's gas, as they keep digging holes in every street of Paris ...," she said, referring to local work that was being done in the street. Quentin Huet, 20, a student at the nearby Ecole des Mines graduate school, told Reuters it was not just the sound that scared him.

The Dallas-based carrier has blamed the hour-long outage on a vendor-supplied network firewall failure, causing a temporary loss of connection to key systems. Southwest told Reuters on Wednesday it opted to halt flights out of caution, adding there were no indications of a cyber attack. It declined to identify the vendor and did not address why this failure was not part of the company's planning. While the exact cause is not clear, some industry experts questioned why Southwest systems did not include more redundancy. Southwest was able to manually launch flights while SWIFT was down but decided to suspend departures at 8:27 a.m. CST.

REUTERS/Sarah MeyssonnierPARIS, March 6 (Reuters) - Stella McCartney drove home her leather-free fashion message by sending a team of horses to canter alongside models wearing styles crafted from new, eco-conscious materials. "I just really want to show everyone in the world - and the world of fashion - that you don't really need to do that," she said. At the show in the Ecole Militaire stables in Paris, seven horses, guided by their trainer, Jean-Francois Pignon, performed individually and in formation. LVMH owns a minority stake in the label and McCartney serves as environmental adviser to the entire luxury group.

REUTERS/Benoit TessierPARIS, March 2 (Reuters) - Givenchy creative director Matthew M. Williams focused on dresses at the French fashion house’s fall runway show at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday, sending out a line-up of long, slinky gowns that swept the runway. Layered looks were less present than in previous seasons, though there were a few, mixing brown shearling and slick, black leather. While the models marched to a solemn, electronic beat in a temporary tent at the Ecole Militaire in central Paris, some of the guests were more flamboyant. The show took place on the fourth day of Paris Fashion week, which runs through March 7, and features big name labels including Dior, Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton Hermes and Chanel.

REUTERS/Sarah MeyssonnierPARIS, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Givenchy creative director Matthew Williams hit the runway Wednesday with a collection of layered looks for men, piling suit jackets on top of hoodies and wide-legged bermudas. Adding texture, the designer of the LVMH-owned (LVMH.PA) French fashion house also wove patches of colour and distressed elements into the line up, which included furry coats in bright colours, shiny puffer coats and exotic skin patterns. The event was held on the second day of Paris Fashion Week's menswear shows, which lasts through Jan. 22 and include high end labels Louis Vuitton, Dior Homme, Hermes and Maison Margiela. European fashion labels are looking to tap into the global popularity of South Korean stars, with an eye to younger shoppers, and the latest flurry of tie-ups include BTS' Jimin for Dior and rapper Suga at Valentino, also announced this week.
[1/4] The Laser Lightning Rod, an experimental lighting protection device that diverts the path of lightning bolts using a high-power laser, is seen in action at the top of Mount Santis in Switzerland in this undated photograph. Scientists now are moving to improve on that 18th century innovation with 21st century technology - a system employing a high-powered laser that may revolutionize lightning protection. With further development, this Laser Lightning Rod could safeguard critical infrastructure including power stations, airports, wind farms and launchpads. In experiments during two months in 2021, intense laser pulses - 1,000 times per second - were emitted to redirect lightning strikes. Houard anticipated that 10 to 15 years more work would be needed before the Laser Lightning Rod can enter common use.

London CNN —Bernard Arnault, the chairman of French luxury goods giant LVMH (LVMHF), has just become the first European to top Bloomberg’s list of the world’s richest people, relegating Elon Musk to second place. Arnault had already ousted Musk from the top spot on Forbes’ list of “Real Time Billionaires” last week. Arnault bought control of the group, returning it to profitability and embarking on a strategy to develop the world’s leading luxury goods company. Arnault has long held the title of Europe’s richest person, but the 73-year old keeps a much lower profile than Musk and isn’t personally active on any major social media platforms. Arnault is married and has five children, all of whom currently work at LVMH or one of its brands, according to Bloomberg.
EDF estimates that France's nuclear industry needs to recruit between 10,000 and 15,000 workers a year over the next seven years. Despite relatively high unemployment, France's manufacturing, construction, engineering and IT industries complain they can't get the workers they need. These people work with molten metal at 1,500 degrees Celsius, and sometimes have to stand upside down," said one welder in the nuclear industry, who asked not to be identified. Before the war in Ukraine, successive administrations sought to reduce France's reliance on nuclear energy, not build new reactors, they say. For a long time, France was Europe's nuclear energy champion - and its biggest electricity exporter.

Preşedintele francez, Emmanuel Macron, a anunţat joi desfiinţarea Ecole Nationale d'Administration (Şcoala Naţională de Administraţie, ENA), instituţia care formează de mai bine de şapte decenii elitele franceze, şi înlocuirea ei cu o nouă instituţie prezentată ca fiind mai deschisă diversităţii şi mai puţin elitistă. Într-o videoconferinţă la care au participat peste 600 de înalţi oficiali, Macron, el însuşi absolvent al ENA (promoţia 2004), la fel ca alţi trei dintre ultimii şase şefi de stat francezi, a spus că viitoarea şcoală, numită Institutul Serviciului Public, va trebui să „selecteze profiluri mai puţin determinate social”, o reformă promisă după criza vestelor galbene din 2019, care au protestat inclusiv faţă de inegalitatea socială şi de politicile despre care susţin că favorizează elita. Institutul Serviciului Public se va afla la Strasbourg, unde a funcţionat şi ENA din 1991, informează AFP, citată de AGERPRES. Zeci de miniştri francezi, lideri de afaceri şi studenţi din 134 de ţări au studiat la această prestigioasă şcoală creată în 1945 de generalul Charles de Gaulle, la sfârşitul celui de-al doilea război mondial, pentru a „reforma maşina administrativă”, din care o parte colaborase cu Germania nazistă, şi a reda Franţei postbelice o nouă administraţie de vârf. De-a lungul vremii, ENA s-a transformat într-o instituţie mai degrabă elitistă, câştigându-şi reputaţia de a selecta candidaţi din eşaloanele sociale superioare şi de a fi deconectată de realitate, o imagine pe care s-a străduit să o redreseze.

Copiatul este sancționat foarte dur, sunt mulți supraveghetori la examene și se desfășoară în spații foarte mari ca amfiteatre sau săli de sport pentru a putea reuni mai multe grupe. Fiecărei grupe îi corespunde o culoare a foii, iar examenele sunt distribuite când toată lumea se află pe loc și nu începem până fiecare student din sală nu își primește examenul. Dreptul era foarte interesant și aveam numeroase exemple din partea profesorului. Ni s-a oferit numele unei întreprinderi și o mică descriere a creșterii ei, iar apoi a regresului brusc din cauza neadaptării lor la cerințele pieței. Anul acesta, sunt foarte optimistă în legătură cu examenele care se apropie, deoarece corespund specializării alese și mă fac extrem de curioasă.”Laura Guțu
