This week women all over the world will be putting on their finest designer clothes to celebrate Eid. That is why top fashion designers have been unveiling their Eid collections in recent weeks and three of the most eye-catching ones emerged out of Pakistan. Here is a look at ZILL Eid Collection, which has been created by ORO by Mahgul, The Summer Bloom by Sania Maskatiya and a collection by design duo Saira Shakira.


Talented duo Saira Faisal and Shakira Usman came together in 2012 to form self-titled brand Saira Shakira. Since then the big-thinking brand has made a name for itself in Pakistani fashion with eye-catching designs that have a global sensibility.

The latest Eid collection from the Saira Shakira design house show- cases a diverse range of distinctive ensembles with asymmetrical cuts based largely on summer-friendly fabrics, such as organza, chiffon and cotton net. The collection uses pas- tel shades and floral embroideries to celebrate summer and Eid. There is everything from basic to luxury designs, at different price ranges.

Speaking about their Eid collection, the designer duo said: “Eid is a time of celebration and that is exactly what our latest collection is all about. In this, we celebrate woman- hood and individual style through our diverse range of designs. We have created each outfit with meticulous attention to detail that reflects the true essence of a Saira Shakira woman.”

Four police officers face misconduct charges in Harshita Brella murder case

Highlights

  • Four officers accused of misconduct over handling of Harshita Brella’s abuse reports.
  • Brella was found dead in a car boot in London last year; husband remains on the run.
  • Watchdog says detectives failed to review case properly or safeguard victim.
UK police watchdogs have ruled that four Northamptonshire Police officers should face misconduct proceedings over their handling of domestic abuse allegations made by Harshita Brella, the 24-year-old Indian woman later found murdered in London. Brella’s husband, Pankaj Lamba, remains the main suspect and is believed to have fled to India.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said on Monday that its investigation found failings in how the force responded after Brella contacted police on August ( 29) last year to report abuse by Lamba at their home in Corby, Northamptonshire. She had moved to the UK only months earlier after marrying Lamba in an arranged marriage.

Lamba was arrested on 3 September ,2024 and released on police bail with conditions not to contact his wife. He was also issued with a Domestic Violence Protection Order. However, on November (14) last year, Brella’s body was discovered in the boot of a Vauxhall Corsa in Ilford, east London. Police believe she was strangled at their home days earlier, on the evening of November(10) before her body was driven to the capital.
