The death toll from landslides and floods in Japan has risen to at least 20. Around 260,000 people living in the area have been ordered to evacuate, and 140,000 more were advised to leave their homes on the southwestern island of Kyushu.

Most of those killed lost their lives in landslides in and around the town of Aso, situated on the foot of a volcano in Kumamoto prefecture, one of the island’s four prefectures affected by the disaster. Many of the casualties were elderly people unable to leave their houses as water levels rose rapidly.

Two hundred and sixty thousand people in the north of the island have now been ordered to leave their houses. They were instructed to go to designated shelters such as schools and other public facilities. Some 140,000 others were also advised to leave their houses to avoid jeopardizing their lives.

Television footage showed streets and land masses awash with streaming muddy water carrying pieces of debris.

Up to 181 landslides occurred in the Fukuoka prefecture, damaging 820 houses and washing away three bridges, Hiroaki Aoki, the prefecture’s spokesman, stated.

“Two men were rescued from landslides but their conditions were not immediately available. One woman was still trapped,” he said. “I don’t remember any flooding which stretched over such a wide area in our prefecture.”

A riverside drive-in restaurant in the Yamakuni prefecture was inundated up to the roof, though water levels later subsided.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency expects more floods and landslides as severe showers continue to batter the island. Rainfall of up to 4.3 inches (11 cm) an hour was registered on Saturday. Heavy rains have been battering the southern island of Kyushu since Thursday.

ΠΑΡΙΣΙ.ΔΑΝΤΕΛΕΣ ΠΟΥΛΙΕΣ ΚΑΙ ΧΡΥΣΑ ΦΤΕΡΑ.

PARIS - Lace, sequins and crystal-embelished gowns took over the runway during the Fall/Winter 2012/13 Elie Saab show at Paris Couture Fashion Week. Model of the moment, Karlie Kloss, set the tone for the collection by opening the show in a black lace, floor-length gown doused in crystals and sequins. Makeup was subtle; light peach lips and blush. The models' hair was tightly french-braided and piled in the back. The show transitioned from black lace to a pastel palette including whites, nudes, pinks, peaches and blues. The show focused on bejeweled bodices, plunging necklines, open back details, heavy embellishments and sheer fabrics. While keeping true to the brand's red-carpet nature of glamour and show-stopping details, the collection remained refined and elegant.
