Quote: Vogue Arabia to launch with Saudi royal as editor-in-chief Arrival of international fashion magazine to fuel Gulf states’ appetite for luxury goods Rumoured for years, Vogue Arabia’s launch has finally been announced by publishers Condé Nast. The first edition of the magazine is due to appear online in October under Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz, 41, who is married to a member of the Saudi royal family, and has been appointed founding editor-in-chief. Print editions are to follow in the spring. “The Arab world consists of 350m people, and they never had a Vogue,” Abdulaziz tells the Financial Times. “The time has come, and it has been a long time coming.” “We never rush to bring Vogue into a new market,” says Jonathan Newhouse, the chief executive of Condé Nast. “We wait until we are confident there is the creative talent to produce a product at the Vogue level.” Condé Nast International is teaming with Nervora, the pub

Quote: Jack O'Connell to Play Alexander McQueen in Biopic Andrew Haigh is set to direct the film about the late fashion icon, with principal photography to begin in January. The hotly anticipated Alexander McQueen biopic has found its leading man. Jack O'Connell (Unbroken, '71) has been cast as the late fashion designer in the untitled film to be directed by Andrew Haigh (Weekend, 45 Years) with Pathe producing.

Quote: Lord Snowdon has died at the age of 86, the BBC has confirmed this afternoon. The English photographer, who was married to the Queen's younger sister, Princess Margaret, was one of the most popular image makers of his generation, capturing thousands of photographs in his lifetime. Snowdon, full name Antony Charles Robert Armstrong Jones, started his career in fashion photography straight from university. While his work became popular editorially, he became best known for his royal portraiture, famously capturing the Queen and Prince Philip on their 1957 tour of Canada. In the Sixties and Seventies he cemented his sought-after reputation, becoming artistic advisor to the Sunday Times Magazine and enjoying widespread acclaim for his work, which appeared in the pages of Condé Nast titles including Vogue and Vanity Fair. In 2001, he was honoured with an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. Entitled Photographs by Snowdon: A

  “Growing up, a lot of people wore baggy stuff,” says Jordan Clarkson, the stylish L.A. Lakers point guard, of being raised in Florida and Texas. “I went in the opposite direction. Just trying to be different.” “Different” seems to have worked for Clarkson, who, when not sporting his number six jersey, favors jeans from Saint Laurent, bombers from Off-White, and tees from Palace. “I’m a normal size,” said Clarkson, demystifying the notion that all athletes need custom attire. (He does, however, stand at 6 feet 5 inches). “I can fit into a lot of clothes. A lot of them fit my body.” Clarkson’s Instagram  reveals his style ethos: One moment sees the all-star athlete sporting a Supreme T-shirt featuring Gucci Mane’s likeness, while other occasions see him rocking old school Vans low-tops with plaid trousers. This season, however, he’s favoring more tailored styles with a twist. “I’m getting a little older,” says the 24-year-old of introducing suiting into his sartori

It’s time to update your firmware. An exploit that affects a number of Netgear routers can easily give hackers access to your wireless admin password which could lead to router lock-out or, worse, illicit use of your Internet. The exploit, which Netgear firmly patched , used a bug found in 2014 to expose admin passwords in plain text. A researcher for Trustwave, Simon Kenin, first uncovered the problem a year ago when he lost his administration password. He tried to hack his own router, eventually uncovering a secret feature designed to allow password recovery. He wrote: I woke up the next morning excited by the discovery, I thought to myself: “3 routers with same issue… Coincidence? I think not”. Luckily, I had another, older NETGEAR router laying around; I tested it and bam! Exploited. I started asking people I knew if they have NETGEAR equipment so I could test further to see the scope of the issue. In order to make life easier for

                                                                 Photo: WhatsApp   It’s that time of year again when fake WhatsApp rumors make their way across the web. This time, fake news website ‘8shit’ posted a bogus story titled “From February 5 on, WhatsApp will let you know when someone screenshots your chat”. The article claims that WhatsApp’s CEO implemented the feature due to a mix of high demand and because of the fact that his girlfriend always screencapped his conversations. “Jan Koum, the CEO of WhatsApp announced that the next version of the application is going to include the option of being notified if someone screenshots your conversation. This is an option requested by a lot of users lately, and according to him “after all these years, we’ve reached the conclusion to add it”.” “The reason behind this feature, according to Koum, is that he’s tired of his girlfriend screenshotting his chats. That’s why he wants to make the feature available f
