After Paris, the eagerly awaited retrospective of late French designer Yves Saint Laurent will open in Madrid in October.

The public will discover 40 years of the work of the designer who changed the face of French and international fashion during the 20th century.

The collection will display over 300 pieces like haute-couture and prêt à porter creations, drawings, personal objects, films, photographs and sketches.

Mexican beer brand Corona has launched a new hotel in Madrid, called “Save the Beach hotel” and made entirely of rubbish.

It is constructed out of 12 tons of items found littered on Europe’s beaches and is designed to raise awareness of the plight of coastlines and seas around the world.

Designed by German artist HA Schult, it will be open to visitors in the Spanish city between January 19 and 23, coinciding with a tourism fair held there — a similar exhibit was installed in Rome for the World Environment Day week.
