A 28-piece collection inspired by Lyari’s fo…

Karachi: Movement, the Pakistani streetwear label behind the +92 collection with Wasim Akram and its capsule with Adeel uz Zafar, today announced LYARI – a 28-piece collection releasing on 31st July 2026 alongside an original anthem produced by Qasim Azhar, featuring Eva B and rappers from Lyari itself.

Emerging as one of Pakistan’s most happening streetwear brands, Movement continues to build its collections through culture rather than trend. The LYARI drop is the largest release in the brand’s three-year history, and the first built entirely inside one place rather than about it.

Lyari made Pakistani football. It made Pakistani rap. Its walls carry a mural tradition older than most of the city’s galleries, and its slang has travelled further than most of its people have. Very little of that reaches the screen. Movement’s position is simple: Lyari does not need defending. It has never needed anyone’s permission to be interesting.

Rather than beginning with a mood board, the collection begins with the place itself – its grounds and the players who never left them, its studios and cyphers, its painters who work on shutters instead of canvas. Lyari’s own language runs through the collection, from phrases like “Lyari Dil Hai Jani” to the lettering, colours and hand-drawn graphic treatment inspired by the neighbourhood itself.

The LYARI anthem is not just a campaign soundtrack. It is what the streets sound like when nobody is translating them.

Recorded with Eva B alongside MCs who grew up in Lyari, the anthem is written in the language those streets are actually spoken in – the slang, the cadence, the humour and the pace of a place that moves fast and does not explain itself to visitors. Nothing on the record was softened for an outside ear.

The anthem releases as a standalone record across Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube and all major streaming platforms today. The accompanying film was shot entirely on location in Lyari, with the people who live there appearing on camera instead of actors cast to represent them.

The collection spans 28 pieces, designed with a simple benchmark: every garment should feel equally at home on a street in Lyari and on a shop floor in London without changing a single stitch.

    Taylor Swift fans celebrate Folklore’s sixth anniversary

    Taylor Swift fans across the globe are celebrating a major musical milestone today, marking exactly six years since the pop superstar shocked the entertainment world with the surprise release of her critically acclaimed eighth studio album, Folklore. ​Dropped with less than 24 hours’ notice on July 24, 2020, during the height of the global COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns, Folklore represented a massive sonic pivot for the artist. Trading her signature upbeat stadium-pop sound for moody, atmospheric indie-folk production, Swift collaborated remotely with Aaron Dessner of The National and Jack Antonoff to craft an introspective record that deeply resonated with a worldwide audience isolated in quarantine. ​Fans, affectionately known as Swifties, flooded social media platforms to commemorate the six-year anniversary. Trending hashtags such as #6YearsOfFolklore dominated platforms like X and TikTok, with fans sharing favorite tracks, elaborate lyric deep-dives, and emotional personal stories of how the melancholic album provided a much-needed sense of comfort and escapism during the unprecedented uncertainty of 2020. Popular tracks like “August,” “Cardigan,” and the haunting Bon Iver collaboration “Exile” saw a significant surge in streaming numbers as dedicated listeners revisited the album’s rich, fictional storytelling. ​Beyond its massive fan reception, Folklore proved to be both a commercial juggernaut and a towering critical triumph. The 16-track project famously secured the prestigious Album of the Year award at the 2021 Grammy Awards, making Swift the first female artist in music history to win the industry’s top prize three times. Music critics widely regard the atmospheric record as a definitive turning point in Swift’s lengthy career, brilliantly showcasing her evolution from an autobiographical pop star to a masterful, imaginative storyteller capable of weaving complex, character-driven narratives. ​The six-year milestone coincides with Swift’s ongoing global dominance. As her monumental Eras Tour continues to shatter box office records worldwide, the Folklore “era” remains a central and highly anticipated segment of her three-hour live shows. During the tour, Swift famously performs tracks from the album on a moss-covered cabin set, visually recreating the rustic cottagecore aesthetic that defined the celebrated release. ​Swift’s official management team, Taylor Nation, joined the vibrant online celebration by posting nostalgic tributes and behind-the-scenes glimpses from the album’s minimalist, self-styled photoshoot. As fans continue to spin their vinyl records and stream the haunting melodies of Folklore, the six-year anniversary serves as a powerful reminder of how a quiet, quarantine-born project fundamentally reshaped the trajectory of one of the biggest careers in modern history, firmly cementing Taylor Swift’s enduring legacy as a generational songwriter.

    19 dead as 49,000 rush Spain’s Ceuta border

    Spain and Morocco have strengthened security along the border of the Spanish enclave of Ceuta after an unprecedented surge saw around 49,000 migrants cross by land and sea within a single day, triggering a humanitarian and political crisis. Authorities from both countries reinforced border fences and increased security deployments on Friday, effectively halting further mass crossings. Moroccan security forces used water cannons to disperse crowds attempting to reach the enclave, while damaged vehicles and signs of violent clashes were visible near the border. Spanish officials confirmed that at least 19 bodies were recovered from the waters during the chaotic crossings, raising concerns over the growing human cost of irregular migration. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez was expected to visit Ceuta alongside Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska to assess the situation and oversee the government’s response. Ceuta, a Spanish territory on Morocco’s northern coast, represents one of the European Union’s only land borders with Africa. While the enclave has experienced migration waves in the past, officials described the latest influx as the largest recorded in recent years. Spain’s government said migrants who entered the enclave illegally would be returned in accordance with Spanish law while respecting recent court rulings and international human rights obligations. Officials believe the sudden increase in crossings may have been influenced by a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling that placed new limits on the immediate return of migrants intercepted while attempting to reach Ceuta and the nearby enclave of Melilla. On the Moroccan side, thousands of migrants gathered near the border town of Fnideq despite heavy security. Many searched for alternative routes after official crossing points were sealed, while others attempted to reach Ceuta by swimming along the coastline. The crowds included men, women, and children from Morocco as well as several Sub-Saharan African countries. The crisis has sparked political tensions across Europe. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned that Italy could consider extraordinary measures, including suspending participation in the Schengen border-free travel system with Spain, if migration pressures continue to escalate. Italy also criticized Spain’s immigration policies, arguing that recent measures to regularize the status of hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants could encourage further irregular migration. Spain rejected the criticism, insisting that migration requires a coordinated European response based on solidarity rather than political rhetoric. Spanish officials stressed that migrants contribute to the country’s economy while reaffirming their commitment to tackling illegal border crossings.

    Hilaria Baldwin opens up about years-long eating d…

    Hilaria Baldwin is shedding light on one of the most personal chapters of her life, opening up about her years-long battle with an eating disorder and the challenges that have continued throughout her recovery. The wellness entrepreneur and wife of actor Alec Baldwin recently spoke candidly about her health journey, explaining that although she has made significant progress, recovery is not something that happens overnight. Instead, she described it as a lifelong process that requires constant care, self-awareness and compassion. Reflecting on her experience, Hilaria revealed that she struggled with an eating disorder for years before seeking the help she needed. Looking back, she admitted she did not fully understand the seriousness of the condition at first and said it affected both her physical and emotional well-being. (people.com⁠) According to Hilaria, recovery has involved learning to rebuild a healthier relationship with food and with herself. She explained that while there have been moments of progress, there have also been setbacks, making it important to remain patient throughout the process. She stressed that healing is rarely a straight path and encouraged others facing similar struggles to seek professional support rather than trying to manage everything alone. (people.com⁠) During the conversation, Hilaria also spoke about how becoming a mother influenced her perspective on health. Raising seven children with Alec Baldwin encouraged her to focus less on appearance and more on overall well-being, balance and setting a positive example for her family. She said motherhood helped shift her priorities and reminded her of the importance of treating herself with kindness. The podcast host acknowledged that conversations about eating disorders can be uncomfortable, but she believes speaking openly may help reduce stigma. By sharing her own experience, she hopes others will realize they are not alone and that recovery is possible with the right support system. Mental health experts have long emphasized that eating disorders are complex medical conditions that can affect people regardless of age, gender or background. Recovery often involves medical care, nutritional guidance and psychological support tailored to each individual’s needs. Hilaria’s latest comments have been met with support from many fans, who praised her willingness to discuss such a deeply personal issue publicly. Her honesty has also sparked wider conversations about body image, mental health and the importance of seeking help without shame. For Hilaria, the journey continues, but she says she now approaches it with greater understanding and self-compassion. Her message is ultimately one of hope: healing may take time, but every step forward matters.

    Tech firms accused of destroying books after AI scanning

    Books are playing a major role in the rapid development of artificial intelligence. However, experts warn that the growing demand for printed books to train AI models is putting valuable knowledge and cultural heritage at risk. According to a British media report, several technology companies have started buying large collections of old books. The books are scanned using high-speed machines so their contents can be converted into digital data. The material is then used to train advanced artificial intelligence systems. The report claims that after the scanning process is completed, some companies discard or destroy the original printed copies. This practice has raised concerns among historians, librarians, and preservation experts, who fear that irreplaceable works may disappear forever. The project reportedly began around two years ago. In February 2024, a leading AI company hired a specialist with the task of collecting as many books as possible from around the world. The goal was to secure a vast collection of written material for AI training. Experts say the destruction of ordinary books is troubling, but the loss of historical or rare editions would be far more serious. They warn that once an original copy is destroyed, valuable physical features such as handwritten notes, bindings, paper quality, and printing techniques may be lost forever. These details are often important for researchers and historians. According to the report, AI companies are especially interested in books published before 2022. They believe these books contain mostly human-written content, making them more useful for training AI models. Newer online content is increasingly influenced by AI-generated text, which experts say could reduce the quality of future AI training. The growing use of books for AI development has also sparked debate over copyright, preservation, and ethics. Critics argue that technological progress should not come at the cost of destroying cultural and historical treasures. They are urging companies to preserve original copies after scanning them and work with libraries and archives to protect valuable collections for future generations.

    Teacher injured as roof plaster of school caves in

    SUJAWAL:* In a disturbing incident on Wednesday morning, a teacher of Government Boys High School, Begna Mori, within Taluka Jati of District Sujawal, was injured when cement plaster from the staff room fell on him. According to the Senior Head Master of the School, Aziz Allah Dino Khowaja, Junior Elementary School Teacher Fayyaz Zaur was present in the staff room, working on an official assignment, when the roof plaster fell on his head, leaving him critically injured. “As the blood started oozing from his head, we took him to Basic Health Unit Begna Mori for treatment,” said the Senior Head Master, adding that after treatment, the condition of the teacher had become stable. School Teacher Abid Inayat disclosed that the tender for the school’s refurbishment had been passed, and the contractor had demolished a portion of the school comprising three classrooms, but a few months ago he abruptly stopped the renovation work and has been evading resuming work. “Multiple efforts have been made to contact the missing contractor, but he is evading a response,” the teacher said. He further disclosed that the lives of 22 teachers, over a hundred students, and the lower staff had been at stake owing to the ramshackle condition of the building. The school, he said, is one of the schools with high enrollment, and such an incident would leave an adverse effect on the newcomers. The Head Master mentioned that they had approached the District Education Officer (Secondary), Sujawal, and other concerned authorities to ensure the safety of children, but to no avail. He urged the Sindh Minister for Education, Syed Sardar Ali Shah, to take speedy measures for resuming the renovation work of the school and to conduct a thorough probe against the fleeing contractor.
