Azza Fahmy designs a piece for Balmain + The Kiwis want to give news outlets a payday for content published on Facebook, Google

Balmain ft. Azza Fahmy: Egyptian jewelry designer Azza Fahmy is collaborating with Balmain to design a piece for the French household luxury brand’s 2023 resort collection, Azza Fahmy said in a post. The collection pays homage to Ancient Egypt, which Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing says holds beauty in its “maximalism and minimalism.” The bustier Azza Fahmy designed for Balmain’s collection includes several symbols that are emblematic of Ancient Egypt, including the Eye of Horus, a lotus flower, and a scarab, among others.

** We sat down with Azza Fahmy’s managing director, Fatma Ghali, on our podcast Making It back in December 2019. You can listen to the episode on our website | Apple Podcast | Google Podcast.


New Zealand is drafting a law for big digital platforms to pay publishers for the news circulated on these platforms, following in the footsteps of Australia, which successfully passed publishers’ right to commercial agreements, Wall Street Journal reports. So far, Australia has seen 30 commercial agreements signed “between digital platforms and a cross-section of Australian news businesses,” the WSJ says. Among them: News Corp reached agreements with Google and Facebook.
