...MOSCOW Hedi Slimane's destroyed-denim jeans for Dior Homme ($750), left, is selling out at the Dior store. A representative says this edgy look, new to Moscow, is popular with the fashion-forward crowd...
...front row of the Christian Dior men's show last month, sandwiched between his business partner Pierre Berg* and LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault. It may not seem like a big deal-Saint Laurent used to be the designer for Christian Dior, and the designer having the show, Hedi Slimane, once worked for the Yves Saint Laurent label. But Saint Laurent never showed up at one of Slimane's shows before. In fact, Saint Laurent has reportedly attended only one other fashion show ever.

The Tunisians expelled the Libyan ambassador and withdrew their own envoy from Tripoli, a move just short of breaking diplomatic relations...
...Arab, anti-Western sentiments. Masmoudi advocated unification with Libya, and most likely saw it as a means of improving his own position in the Tunisian power struggle. At week's end, evidence of political difficulties within Tunisia mounted as soldiers occupied key Tunis intersections. Premier Hedi Nouira, a rival of Masmoudi's and a foe of unification, described the troop movements as a "precaution." They were probably meant to discourage Tunisian youth, many of whom admire Gaddafi, from taking to the streets to demonstrate in favor of the merger with Libya...
